20" 48 oz. Samsher, by Murali, a kick-ass blade with chandan handle scales; a great example of the one of the best seldom-seen big HI choppers. Nearly perfect specimen with traditional (non-habaki) bolster, traditional full pinned tang, properly placed cho, and a red chandan wood handle; a classic large leaf-bladed chopper from HI.
Comes with a black buffalo-hide covered wooden scabbard with brass chape, and karda and chakma (burnisher) companion blades. The whole kit is unused, uncarried and unsharpened. Sharpening available on request.
First listed this two years ago and withdrew it at the last minute, but have to finally let it go.
SOLD priority shipping & insurance
--> No trades, thanks.
--> Prefer not to ship OCONUS, but will do so to people Ive dealt with before at their ship cost.
--> PayPal as "goods" to protect everyone, and I pay the fees, or USPS MO. Will ship to PP confirmed addresses only.
If interested please first post "I'll take it" here, then send a PM or email. Thanks for looking!
