I have heard that, for every 10 swords, with famous signatures, 8 are fakes. The other 2 are questionable.

On a similar note: Several years ago, I purchased four swords off ebay. All had Indian made blades, with varying dimensions, and markings but, identical leather scabbards. That's where the Tulwar...

That poison vial looks very much the "Monkey Scrotum" powder flask I posted a while back. Maybe it's not a powder flask?

Rampart, or wall guns exist, in all forms, and all regions. The latest I have seen, was from the American "Civil War". When flintlock, or caplock versions are encountered, it's sometimes hard to tell...

What Is This?

I'm sure someone here knows what this is. I'm guessing a throwing stick/club? Or, a rug beater? :rolleyes: Looks Aboriginal. Medium dense wood. Looks like it was fire hardened on the ends....

I only have three words to say... WOW! Nice sword. I bid (very weakly) on a Polish sword, quite similar to this one, on ebay, several years ago. Didn't even come close! M.P.
