Hadn't thought about the currency aspect. Many regions of the world have, or have had weapon designed money.

Urine is an excellent "patinating" agent. An item buried in the ground after being tinkled on, will look 80 years old in two days. I understand the Chinese use chicken poop, neutralized with diesel...

Gun show. No story, seller thought they were African. The guy has been in the gun, antique, and military surplus business for 50 years. No telling when, or where he got them. They are certainly...

Spear Heads: Whatizthey?

Picked these up at the show today. Whatever they are? The single blades are 13" long, the doubles, 12". Didn't measure the width. The owner thought they were African. To me the doubles look Indian,...

Thanks Ibrahiim, I remember that thread. Would it be possible to get a translation of the script, on the back of the receiver? I can't seem to rotate it properly.

Nice spear heads. Yeah, that's what happens when you bring a knife, to a gun fight.

I have a Vietnam era Dha, with a twist wire grip. If you post on a Japanese sword website, some of the "experts" can determine age, and possibly smith, by blade configuration alone. Then, it can be...

Indeed. My wife's grandfather drove the planes, that took them to those places, they never were. Had he been killed in action, it would have been in a training exercise, in Kansas.

Which caliber it fires, is really a moot point. Got it as a wallhanger, and wouldn't dare shoot it anyway. Any chance of a translation of this script? I know it's pretty hard to see. Oops, I thought...

Afghan Tribal Martini Henry

My guess would be Austrian. There are many WWI Austrian fighting knives, with ornately carved handles. As to it's purpose, I'd guess with only a point, it's a "sticking" knife. For the coup-de-grass...
