I HAVE BEEN A COLLECTOR OF JEWELRY, ASIAN ANTIQUES AND ANTIQUITIES FOR YEARS. THIS INCLUDES PORCELAIN, JADE, BRONZE, BEADS AND OTHER INTERESTING ITEMS. IT IS NOW TIME FOR ME TO DOWNSIZE! I HOPE YOU WILL FIND ITEMS HERE TO ENJOY. ALL MEASUREMENTS AND WEIGHTS ARE APPROXIMATE.
PROVENANCE ESTATE OF ROBERT HENRY CORNELLMASSACHUSETTS. ANY TAGS AND LABELS WERE WRITTEN BY HIM YEARS AGO.
I BELIEVE THIS IS A PHILIPPINE PUNAL DAGGER. I KNOW THAT IT IS DEFINITELYFROM SOUTHEAST ASIA AND AT LEAST AS OLD AS WWII BECAUSE A WWII GI BROUGHT IT BACK. BEAUTIFULLY ETCHED. I CAN TELL THIS WAS USED. NOT BY THE GI! THERE ARE A COUPLE OF TINY NICKS ON THE BLADE AND IT HAS BEEN SHARPENED MORE THEN ONCE. IT IS SHARP!! THE HANDLE MAY NOT BE ORIGINAL. THE YELLOWISH STUFF NEAR THE GUARD IS EITHER OLD GREASE OR GLUE. IT PUSHES AWAY EASY ENOUGH SO I THINK IT IS GREASE OR KNIFE OIL.
THE SCABBARD IS ABOUT 10.5 X 3 X 1.7 INCHES. THE DAGGER IS ABOUT 15 X 3.1 INCHES. IN THE SHEATH IT IS 15.25 INCHES LONG.
FOR BUYERS ON THE WEST COAST, ANYTHING THAT CANNOT GO INTO A FLAT RATE BOX, HAS SIZE TO IT AND IT IS FRAGILE, WILL BE EXPENSIVE TO SHIP. I BELIEVE IT IS WORTH IT FOR WHATEVER YOU ARE PAYING ME IS A FRACTION OF ITS VALUE. I LOVE MY THINGS AND FEEL STRONGLY ABOUT THAT.
I COMBINE SHIP. I MUST USE A LOCAL SHIPPER BECAUSE THE POST OFFICE IS TOO FAR AWAY AND A NIGHTMARE TO USE. HE ADDS 3$ TO EVERY PACKAGE AND I AM ADDING 6$ TO GO TOWARDS INSURANCE. IF ANYTHING YOU PAY IN SHIPPING IS LESS THEN THE QUOTED PRICE, YOU WILL BE REFUNDED THE DIFFERENCE.
