1 - Excelent Brazilian gaucho knife, "puņal" type, strong uncleaned
blade 18 cms. with false edge. Thick scabbard and grip in German silver. With marks of a famous Belgium gun makers family, trading in Brazil. Widow (VĒ) Laport ran the busines and the company's name around 1870. This is a heavy old piece, not the tourist stuff they offer air travellers. 2 - A knife called in Brazil "faca de ponta", with a 20 cms. nickeled blade, retaining most finish. The blade decoration has the word ENFIN ( French for "at last" ? ). Leather scabbard and stitching both in perfect condition. 3 - A small knife, whch could be considered a "verijera", with a 13 cms. blade. Leather scabbard a bit split at its mouth. Price for the set 285 Euros ... will consider best counter offer. Fernando |
