			$250 $85 $55 $55 $70 $175 And the last item that I forgot to mention maybe of some interest to those interested in African items, I beleive it is an Etheopian Coptic cross? Silver plate on what I think may be copper. The shaft is steel with the copper cross mounted into it. $135. I did see one on ebay for $900 some time back. SOLD!!!

			French Cavalry sword and Nimcha sold thank you. 
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	I'll put up the Syrian Kindjal and the orange bone handled Kindjal with the early Caucus blade shortly. I am open to offers on the knives above and She who must be obeyed wants to keep the Italian small sword with the mother of pearl handles but I will still entertain a reasonable offer, it is minty. Thanks Gav  |
