Bonhams 1793 : Two Gilbert Islands shark's tooth swords

Including a single straight tapering cylindrical shaft, wood slats running up opposite sides fastening two rows of jagged shark's teeth with sennet fiber cords; the second probably an appendage to a more sizable sword like the first, of curving faceted form, two sides bristling with shark's teeth in identical fashion.
