Typical of both German, and English folding hunting knives. Can be used for small game, and food prep when folded, large game and chopping, when un-folded. Guard pieces look too plain for this knife....

Wow. Unlike anything I've ever seen. Everything is backward. Lock is on the left. "Hammer" cocks forward, like the earlier matchlocks. Trigger pushes forward. And, the rammer comes out the back. I...

Looks like a "Frankenstein" to me. Assembled from unrelated parts. Cool sword though. My guess is, Kyber Pass.

Most of my breach-plugs, can be removed with the fingers. Sometimes a large nail, or similar metal rod is needed. Sounds like yours has been sealed against moisture. One more thing, always check old...

Very interesting piece. I own five, and have owned a few more. Have yet to get my hands on a "carbine" length example. There are only two modern publications on the subject, that I know of. Volumes...

Looks like a "froe" to me. A tool used to make cedar shakes (shingles). Held in one hand, and drived down through the block of wood, with a mallet. Note the "mushrooming" on the spine of the blade.

The third grenade from left, is a Japanese Type 97. The previous model, the Type 91, had a booster, and could be used as a Type 89 (Knee Mortar) projectile, or thrown by hand.

Nice clubs. Was the one on the left, an ebay purchase, several years ago? I sold one (stupidly) very much like it. Mine, may have had a little more curve to it. Same damage to the head.

Yep, same thing happened to the French, when their colonial troops went home from IndoChina. Of course, a little indroctrination from Uncle Ho helped things along.

Thanks for the kind words guys. It was fun to put together. The Mak is awsome. It is swung, with the curved part of the handle pointing rearward. The cutting edge is on the inside of the blade curve....

Thanks for your observations Ibrahiim. The barrel looks to be made the length it is, not cut back. The muzzle is "swamped", and the decorations terminate there. I don't really think it's a recent...

Khyber Karbine?

This arrived via USPS, yesterday. Very nice little carbine. It's almost small enough to be considered a pistol. Barrel is 13", with an o/a length, of 25 1/2". About .50 caliber. My initial thought...

Very nice tourista piece. Any good craft store should have bags of bits and pieces of shell, and stone. If nothing else, they'll have shell buttons. A fabric shop will have buttons as well.
