Hello,
This set ended on ebay http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...MEWA%3AIT&rd=1 and it raised some questions for me. The bottom knife looks like a Tiv loop dagger, but the top ones are mysterious. They both look indian, one like a 2-blade haladie and the top one a chillanum? The seller says they may be brass, would that be likely for such weapons?
I see that Oriental-Arms won the bid, so perhaps Mr.Yarom could comment on them?
Thanks,
Emanuel

Haladie, Bich-Hwa and Chillanum for a total of $200?
IT'S A STEAL!
Congratulations, Artzi!

Sorry Ariel, but it is not quite true what you write.
Form the top Jamdhar Katari, Haladie and Bishwa.
Yes Artzi made a good deal

That bottom dagger is a Tiv dagger from Africa and not a Bishwa.

I've forgot to bid on that

That's true and the haladie I think is Sudanese or syrian, not Indian.

Well, one out of three is... BAD....

I have made a fool of myself.
BUT, it was for the benefit of the Newbies, , just to show them not to be afraid!!
(that's my ego-saving mechanism speaking)
