Himalayan Imports Butterfly Sword. Never used, still has original factory edge.
SPECS:
OL=23''
Weight 20 oz
Satisal wood handle
Made by Kumar
Asking $200 shipped conus
-------
Classic Gurkha Army Khukuri with display stand.
INFO:
"These knives were the workhorses of the Nepalese military throughout the volatile first half of the 20th century. While IMA advertises these knives as having been “retired in the 1890s” those dates are probably in error. Most of these knives were made in the years prior to WWI and served through the interwar period. This is confirmed by the fact that the vast majority of them bear Prime Minister Chandra’s stamp on the spine. Further, there are photographs that seem to show Nepalese soldiers continuing to carry and use these knives into WWII and even the post-war period. These were rugged knives and they had a long service life."
Asking $100 shipped conus.
