Topic: [WTS] Silver Antique Knife ***25% off*** (Read 965 times)
Bump! Really want to sell this knife guys. All offers considered.
I'll pay for escrow; and am happy to use a trusted member of the community. The silver isn't marked with a branded insignia; because it was made my nomadic Bedouin tribesmen in the canyons of Petra, Jordan. I guarantee that is is silver though (barring the blade, which is steel; a silver blade would be useless).
Escrow?
Is the silver hale marked?

New price 
I'm selling my antique Bedouin Shibriya - A ceremonial knife made in Wadi Musa (by Petra), Jordan.
The knife is silver with a steel 5-inch blade (8 inches from handle to tip). These are very hard to come by now as opposed to Yemeni and Omani daggers which are easier to come across in the middle east. The knife has seriously impressive detailing and comes with the silver sheath which fits perfectly around the blade (absolutely zero rattling, literally, it fits like a glove). The blade is in pristine condition as up until the 1990's it was taboo to draw your Shibriya from its sheath unless you intended on using it!
I can polish the knife with silver polish to give it a perfect silver look before shipping if desired, or not (I prefer not to polish my antiques to preserve the fine details).
*** NEW PRICE ***
(old price)
Or nearest offer! (feel free to send me other offers, all are considered) 
Obviously I'll supply higher-res pictures to anyone that PM's with interest but for now I'm about to go to work and could only manage some quick photos with my laptop.
