Assorted takoubas for sale
 

Hi All,

Need to sell a few items to fund a recent acquisition.

A few notes, I'm not listing exact shipping as it depends on where it needs to go. I only charge exactly what it costs me at the post office. Roughly speaking usually it's around 20 Euros or a bit less to ship a sword inside Europe depending on the type of service you want - easiest way is to contact me and we'll figure out what works for you. I prefer to ship to Europe as I'm located in Czech Republic and that keeps the shipping costs down. But I will ship anywhere if asked!

I am not interested in trades at the moment I afraid.

I can be contacted at iain.norman(at)gmail.com. Payment options I am open to are paypal (I don't add a percentage to cover fees), or bank transfer.

Images attached to this post correspond to order the items are listed in (first image is of first item etc.)

1. Takouba – Tuareg


More details and pictures here: http://takouba.org/takouba04/

A nice classic example of the Tuareg takouba with an excellent pommel stack. In good shape overall. I think pics tell pretty much everything you need to know. A nice complete sword with sheath in great condition with woven carry strap still attached.

Asking 160 Euros.

2. Takouba (Alguinjar) – Fulani?

The curved variants aren't seen for sale very often. As you can see there's some corrosion (I've worked on it a bit recently, so it's somewhat better than in these pics, but not drastically). Sheath is in good shape.

Asking 120 Euros.

3. Takouba – Tuareg

A fairly typical more modern takouba but a nice sturdy sword none the less and at a nice price! Sheath is in good condition.

Asking 100 Euros.

Lets drop some prices!

Takouba 1 - now asking 145 Euros

Takouba 2 - now asking 85 Euros

I just shipped a takouba to inside Europe today and it was 20 Euros, so it should be roughly to same for any EU country.

Also on sword 1 that's not a bend in the tip. Just a bad reflection. Someone was asking about it before.

I'd really like to sell these so... Price drop.

Takouba 1 - asking 135 Euros or make me an offer

Takouba 3 - asking 75 Euros or make me an offer

Shipping inside Europe should be around 20 euros. Anywhere else I'm happy to ship, just let me know of your interest and I can get quote.

once again email is: iain.norman(at)gmail.com or PM me.

EDIT: takouba 3 is now on hold

Time for a final price drop.

Only one still available is takouba 1 - asking 130 Euros

Don't want to go lower on this.

Well I really need the cash for something else so...

Takouba 1 now asking 115 Euros or open to offers.

Image of the sword attached again. Comes with scabbard complete with cloth strap.

I think this is a very fair price for a good example of a Tuareg sword. PM or email (iain.norman@gmail.com)

Takouba 1 is on hold. Thanks!
