Welcome aboard. Beautiful piece. "Guns And Rifles Of The World", and "Stone" attribute this style butt as being from Coorg (southern India). This makes sense, as that's not too far from Southeast...

Don't do anything to the nakago. That rust, is considered patina on Japanese blades. It tells you the true age of the sword. Yours has some deep pitting. The nakago should be black, not gray. It has...

Your blade does look to be much older than the fittings. Looks like the tang has been cleaned, so hard to tell. Possibly late Koto period? Fittings are typical WWII military style. Awesome temper...

That is correct. I thought it interesting, that the seller referred to these as "Working Man's Swords". How true. No frills, and just the thing, for a man on a budget.

Although not really a weapon, the folk-art "mace" is alive and well in Ukraine. I'm sure KraVseR can elaborate.

Thanks Spiral. The hilts are very non-typical. Is that an earlier style, or are they replacements? As yet, I've found no other examples, in my reference material, or the internet.

Just got these two in, off Gunbroker. I'm stumped. The photos are from the auction, I will take some better ones, when able. Both blades are 35 1/2" long, 1 5/8" wide. Double fullered, and spear...

I've never seen anything like them. The grips are mounted on a frame, that is very similar to what you would find on a pinfire, or early rim/centerfire revolver. The fore end is unusual, with a...

Duh, I forgot about this abbreviated trade gun. Could be from Africa as well as any where else. I love the evidence of the screws being removed, over and over, with a knife.

Years ago, I bought a sword off ebay, very similar in design to the "D" guarded one. The handle was plain, and hexagonal in cross section. The guard was much thicker. Sold it on ebay, to a gentleman...

I am very leery of Ebay these days. I did a "dagger" search a while back. Found a neat little knife, that looked like a WWII theater made dagger. Heavy patina, and lots of rust. Then I found another,...

Yes, these are very interesting pistols. Wish I hadn't let the other one I had, get away. Rule number one at a gun show: If you don't wanna sell it, leave it at the house!

The above mentioned pistol, reminded of the one I have. While most of these are in .303 caliber, this one is in a .25 caliber "Rook" round. It turns out, that the British military used a modified...

What are the staves between the leather weave made of? They look like metal, and machine made. Very uniform. Looks like it once had something else riveted, or sewn to the framework. There is a series...
