Or, did he get a special request from a customer who collects poor quality, tasteless ceremonial swords?  |
Ariel,
Reviewing the items he bought, I can tell you that I admire his taste also... But if you take a look at his shop, you will find a similar example wich is for sale (acutally already on hold) for a considerable higher sum... I guess that Mr. Artzi, despite his incomparable taste, is good at math too..
