Thanks for the grading, Lew, but it's not yet mine

. I am trying to get the courage to buy it, but the seller wants an implausible price

Please Gentlemen,
It seems as i can not cease thinking about this piece, and i consider making an offer to the seller ( a local one ) if i find nothing serious against its more apparently apealling particularities.
Would end 18th century be possible? And would this imply in a parade item, or did they use these on the field at that time ?
Are the six bosses, instead of four, not a current procedure, or typical of a certain area ?
Would the missing grips be leather ?
And last but not least, do these dhals usually appear on the market in a better condition and in large quantities, or is this a piece advised to collect?
Thanks for further help.
Fernando
