This sword was put on E-Bay by some scmuck who had no idea what it was. A classic sleeper, if I ever saw one.
Then, some goody-two-shoes decided to educate the poor schnook and to demonstrate his ( her? unlikely) deep knowledge of Stone's Glossary. Within moments, the item was taken off the market, and relisted with a new price: Who the hell was the smart aleck? This person should be drawn and quartered, tarred and feathered and forbidden to play a Good Samaritan for the duration of his natural life or until cows come home ( Whichever comes last!)

You know, that has happened to me more than once. I suppose I understand it if the person lists it as "African" for example when its actually from SEA, because of accuracy issues. Other than that I'm not sure why a person who finds such a listing wouldn't actually try to buy it for themselves... For those of us who pride ourselves on our ebay searching ability, it surely is a let-down.
In this particular case the original listing had "Antique" and "Sword" in it so I highly doubt it would have slept very soundly. I'm a big fan of the "coconut knife" myself. ![]() Oops thanks Katana, hadn't noticed. Our posts crossed, sorry. |

![]() Anyway, this is a classic case of 'a little knowledge....' The Panabas in question looked like a souvenir example to me . ![]() |

I think Rick may be correct, does't seem to have much age....and the blade looks possibly made by 'stock removal' rather than forged. But we all know that sometimes pictures 'lie' ![]() Regards David |
