Laddered Tulwar on Ebay

B.I · 21st June 2006, 08:42 AM

there is a laddered tulwar on ebay at present that i feel obliged to make members aware of. this is a current auction, but andrew has carefully alllowed its posting due to its fraudulant content.
neither of us would feel good about igoring the subject whilst a possible member bought a sword that we knew was mis-described.

the last image the seller has posted, that shows a dark pattern and clear ladders does not belong to the advertised sword.
without going into too much detail, the photo in question was taken by me and is of a completely different sword.
whether the sword he is selling is indeed laddered, i do not know. i do know he is punctuating the sale with one of my images, which i know and recognise to be a completely different blade.

B.I., Thanks for warning.

Do we know this seller? Is he a member of this forum? I only know that he has some really nice stuff very very occasionally. He maybe posted B.I.'s photo for reason of comparison and just forgot to mention that in the description. That would be a bad fault without exuse, but certainly not a "capital" offense.

Brian, thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Any further discussion of this auction or seller will necessarily involve speculation. Accordingly, I'm going to close this thread, as its purpose has been realized.

If the seller does read this forum and wishes to post a response, please feel free to contact me directly.
