"African chief's sword"

katana · 11th July 2006, 12:12 PM

What a mess, no regards to the athestics of size ratio, the scabbard is obviously massive and not original to the sword, the blade does't 'fit' with the 'small' hilt.
I can understand the 'mine's bigger than yours' syndrome but this 'ensemble' does not shout 'Chief' .....perhaps.....'mug' with a capital M

Just noticed 8 bids by the same person, reserve not met, because no one else bid ...his bids remained at the start price......lucky escape or something more sinister.......
