I've been waiting for the experts to comment on your interesting axe, as I'm very curious about it as well.
In the meantime, I'll make my "non-expert," observations.

I think you guys are right; what purpose do you think they served other than decorative?
It would be great to see you there; I'm still trying to get Jim to come as well!

Good guess, but it is a hard resin or gum. I first encountered this end cap some years ago and I then, thought that somebody placed the endcap of a walking cane on the spear, however, this is the 3rd...

There aren't any markings on the sword, however, based on how it is affixed to the hilt, they would probably be covered if there were.

Instant Philippine Spear Collection

I just acquired these 4 spears; I believe one of them to be Moro and the other 3 to be Igorot. One is a Kay-Yan & the other is a Fang-Kao, however, I am uncertain about the one with an...

So there would be two ignitions; the primer in the pan and the actual charge? Was this done to ensure a more controlled discharge as opposed to a fuse or lighting up the actual touchhole?
Yes,...

Thanks, that does help. To further impose on you do you have any general idea what area they could be from;i.e. Asian, European, etc.?

Thanks, Fernando. They look like the ones that you posted on "Stone Balls for Comments;" are they the same type and do you have a rough idea or range of their age? Some are quite heavy ranging from...

Hand Cannons, Mortars, or Junk?

I'm certainly no expert on weapons, but I know even less about these types of items. I'm guessing that they are hand mortars & cannons, but I haven't a clue about their age or origin.
Any help...

Thanks to all for the very informative observations. I also thought that the scabbard was unusual and picture worthy(even though I didn't know why). The stitching also looked a bit out of the...

I would be very happy to have you post your...

Ethiopian Shotel or Gurade to share

I believe this to be a good working order gurade or shotel.It has a very substantial 32", possibly a European blade with a horn handle and some type of copper boss on the pommel. There is some wear...

No too sure about this one

I'm not sure what this is or where it belongs, but I kind of feel that this is the right place; if not feel free to move it.
A possible guess is a retired Indonesian spearhead; another guess is...

Thank you for the information. I agree that it could now be a repurposed farm implement, and in my opinion, more of a bush ax, rather than a hay knife, as the blade is too heavy in the reaping of...
