Hi Ramba,

I was bidding on the Indian pair that went for 4,700 I pulled out a lot earlier, there was writing on the zulfiqar which might have been interesting and the basket hilt was unusual but 4700 plus fees was out of my league.

I was looking at the curvey bladed knife in the kukuri lot but again it went too high for me but interesting set of weapons.

I have only once seen a kora for sale in Ireland so I had to go on this pair as they do not come up often here, I hope they are on the right side of oxidation, but we will see.

I hope this is OK to discuss as I am not discussing price I paid, but if this post should be deleted apologies.

Regards,

Ken
