Super rare and very expensive normally; don’t take our word for it, ask Google! Though we can send you a screen grab of one a competitor is offering at USD$3,195 + tax. Rare because they were scarce to start with and then the Imperial British adminstration punished the Kodava people in 1884 by dumping their weapons far out at sea! This is one of the rare examples that survived, probably a souvenir / trophy taken back to the UK by a British army officer.
Investors: Look, we are selling at way below the likely current market / specialist auction price (see below).
Super rare but we were lucky enough to buy two from a collection; the other 19C Coorg Ayda Katti is here.
The curved 13 inch steel blade, with ornate brass / steel terminal to the tip, has some age but is in very good condition and firm in the hilt. The quality hardwood and brass hilt is aged with some minor scuffing but very good. Ayda Katti never had sheaths / scabbards, so there is none with this.
A super opportunity for a collector or investor, a rare quality 19C Kamataka Kodava Coorg Ayda Katti for only £1000. Please quote item reference ZW38 Further / full sized images available upon request. Box 2141 46 x 32 x 21 (1.44).
