Apostolos, I would strongly suggest that while you are waiting for answers you use the search function at the top of the page .
There is a fair amount written there about these; the answers you seek might be found there .

Exclamation

Here are the photo posting instructions: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=13631 But you will need to wait until the auction of the item has closed.

Apostolos,
As has been suggested, you can use the search bar on the top line of this page header and simply enter 'Khevsur'. These has been discussed significantly over the past 15 years, and I know that I have long been interested in them myself. I can understand you seeking advice before participating in auction but as noted we cannot discuss items while they are at auction or for sale as there are obviously potential legal issues.

I will tell you that there are quite a few modern and commercially produced Khevsur arms out there, and it is wise of you to do research before buying.
Please understand that we are quite willing to help but must do so privately until after the auction is closed.
