Hi Geoff
I suggest you post the Dropbox link (to everyone) of the photos you took,
and also give everyone some idea of how much you are expecting for these
tools (how much you want for the lot).
If any of the handles are rosewood (or any other of the CITES protected
species including bubinga, cocobolo and many others) then international
posting will be a real problem, since (as I understand) these items are
being siezed at the border and destroyed without compensation or right of
return to the original shipper (not certain, but I don't think that's a
problem for local mail, but you should check with your post office/shipper
about the new CITES regulations and how they apply in your jurisdiction as
well as at your destination).
   I have heard of heirloom tools being destroyed, which is really
heartbreaking to hear, so you should definitely check this out and make
sure before shipping.
Cheers from Waterloo, Ontario, Canada
Claudio
