Tibetan short sword with carved handle. Pix and UBBB

[Bill Martino]

Here's a fine Tibetan short sword by Bura & Co. 31 inches and 37 ounces. Looks like 10/10 work to me. Bura carved the horn slabs for the handle himself -- dragon motif and shows signs of expert carver at work. Nice scrollwork on guard. Village sarki has done admirable job on scabbard. Needs five minutes to bring edge to razor sharp.

Today this one is $150 delivered to your door and than definitely falls into the UBBB category.

Call or email and stay tuned. I'll have up four more deals in the next 30 minutes.

I am really sorry I missed this one... It's beautiful.

Phgeezer, mine has an uncarved handle. It's still beautful with my eyes closed or in the dark.

If you get one, you will come to know it by touch the way you know your wife's fanny ( further descriptives suppressed ) in bed with the lights off.

You mean it feels like a frozen butterball turkey?

 

[philthygeezer]

Rusty,

I have an uncarved one as well, and I agree. The carving on this one looks spectacular.

No applause for camera work, please. It's the new DC and luck -- certainly not knowledge and skill on my part.

Thank the generous and considerate forumites who supplied the new DC. I love the thing and have to chuckle when I get word from Nepal that "we are having trouble with this digital camera you sent."
