    Description

    This item is an authentic vintage shark's tooth weapon that was brought back to the states by a WWII soldier. This weapon originated from Hawaii or possibly one of the other Pacific islands invaded by the Allies. The weapon is made of wood that was wrapped in a woven, patterned cane or similar fiber and has shark's teeth attached to it with twine.  The item is 22 1/2 inches long and has a handle that that flares out in a V shape guard. The weapon is in very good vintage condition with some missing teeth. Please see the photos for more detail and check out the other listings in my eBay store.
