Just a little fun. Perhaps a sub forum like "Banter"?

BTW it is highly unclear to me what was cut down. I had thought that it was originally perhaps a Horstmann US Staff Sword from the CW...

Ex wife swiped my trench knife from grand dad.

I bought the sword from a dodgy surplus dealer J&S sales maybe?? Name escapes me.

My first sword

Back in the day, when I was 10, 11? I wanted a sword. No, I NEEDED a sword.

Another thing ..

Look at the rear of the barrel behind the reinforce. About 1/3 if the diameter is unfinished. In other words, not to be seen. Suggests some sort of fitted mounting.

I think...

The bore at the muzzle looks a bit flared, I do not think that that profile extends more than 1/2 inch.

The "rifling" looks like some sort of scoring. It, too, is restriceted to the mussze area....

Couple of thoughts ...

There have been a number of videos that show the "devastating" effects of the 12ga Bolo round. They all show basically the same thing: at the ranges tested (~30 yards or...

I have not looked deeply into these things but all of the references that I have seen suggested that their use was naval. Though, I am sure, that they have been used in land warfare.

Touchhole reinforcement

This is the small barrel that I recently obtained.

I noted that the touchhole seems to be reinforced with some sort of insert. It is difficult to tell but I think that this "insert" (if it is) is...

This was represented as a trade axe used during colonial times in the US.

Length overall is 8.5".

Thoughts?

What I meant was that it looks like a purpose made blade for a dagger, not something that's reworked. It is loose.
