Thanks, Corrado26. Can you believe that it actually cocks and strikes? It is quite long(60"), & heavy and I would guess there once was a bipod where the sling is now.

Indo Persian Musket ?

I just picked up this percussion musket and I was wondering if anyone could give a hint as to its origins based on the lock plate.

Okay, since no one on the forum stopped me, I went against every episode of the "Antique Roadshow," and I polished out the inlay; right or wrong, I'm pretty happy with the results.
Another bonus...

Mongolian Stirrups?

I just picked up this pair of what I believe to be Mongolian stirrups; I've seen other pairs and even though the examples generally look similar, the carvings of each dragon seem to vary in skill and...

Colin, what a great collection of spears! I could very readily accept that my spearhead was forged from a European tool; the only thing that gives me hesitation is that it is so symmetrical and the...

Just for my own edification what do consider recent vintage;5 years, 50 years,100 years old? Also, how did you determine that it is contemporary; have you seen other similar examples around?

The pangolin attribution is a good one, however, for me, the bulbous nose doesn't quite fit the animal's profile which has a more tapered nose. Let me clarify; the bulbous nose of my creature as...

Hello back. Yes, I am aware of how the goad is used; if you look closely you can see that the tip has been broken(probably from misuse). As I am sure that you are also aware, often the Elephant and...

It may be a souvenir item, probably 19th century, but flimsy it is not. It looks as if this has been repaired & reinforced afterward, indicating that this was a working item.

Elephant Goad, Ankus?

This is what I believe to be an Indian Elephant Goad, even though I guess it could be Indonesian; maybe the crocodile is a hint to its origin.
It looks like something may have broken off the front...
