6 July 08 - On eBay at this time: Very Rare Antique Double KATAR India Weapon NO RESERVE! Katar is the oldest and most characteristic of the Indian knife weapons. The peculiarity of this Katar is that it has a second separate Katar hidden inside the blade. By placing the tip of your fingers between the grip bar and pushing down, the second Katar starts sliding out from inside of the outer double edged blade.
Over all length 16 inches (outer Katar) with a blade length of 8 inches. Only about 30% of the original silver is remaining. The blade has small amount of silver remaining on one side but none on the other side and has dark patina with some pitting. The inner Katar over all length is 15.3 inches with a blade length of 7.2 inches. Approximately 60% of the silver remains on the inner Katar and has some dark patina and pitting.
4 July 08 Placed a rare Katar on eBay with a few other items. It looks like will will have a new location in Aug 08, - more later.
25 June 08 - We are unable to get a truck to move the display case until June 29th, 2008. The display case for sale (see below) is still for sale for $225. Interested?? call Ron Ruble 928-473-4000
22 June 08 - This week we were required to reduce the size of our fossil display at the Dinosaur Walk Museum so they could add more lower end gift items. Our contract did not specify the amount of square feet we were to use (only verbal), so they greatly reduced our size. We still have a large quantity of real fossils for sale including fish fossils, dinosaur teeth, bones, shark teeth and much more.
We had to remove one of our display cases from the Museum. It is a antique 8 foot-long 41-inch high oak display case, sometimes call a candy display case. Has new lights, locks and red felt shelves. If someone wants this case before we move it on June 25, 2008 from Pigeon Forge TN we well sell it at half of what we paid for it - $225 (paid $450 two years ago).
