Antique Questions Forum / kinder swords

« on: February 25, 2005, 07:15:26 pm »

I have two swords a friend believes were called kinder swords, from the 1800's. The guard [brass handles] have been gold dipped and the wooden part of the handles are wrapped in what is believed to be shark skin. The blades are scrolled. Good condition. Does anyone know what these swords may be worth?/ where I can recieve a professional appraisal in Ontario?
