Bidding ended. Lot has been sold.

The blade is seized in the scabbard for the brass-hilted sword.

The Turkish sword has discolouration/ wear to the velvet and accompanying straps. The locket is scratched and this obscures the clarity of the inscription. There are missing decorative studs and the hilt has losses to the grips. The inscription is obscured by scratches. The blade is heavily rust patinated and scratches with nibbles to the blade.

The kukri is lacking the blades to the knives and is rust patinated.
