	   but some people can collect for beauty and mere enjoyment.i do research some items when i have time. If a true expert chimes in becasue of a picture that would be great. all i have on this is a link to a recent auction of a nearly identical piece without scabbard from bonhams. http://www.bonhams.com/auctions/22748/lot/94/ where it is described as kutch 19th century...not much information there either--sorry.  |
