I'm thinking some kind of harpoon, or harpoon head. Maybe fired from a cannon? Looks to dangerous to be used as a hand held weapon. Would easily pinch your fingers off. :eek: The pole cannon is cool,...

Welcome aboard DW. There is no short answer to your question. Firstly, this type blade is not my area. However as true of this, and any other piece, the question is: Is it an authentic antique, or a...

1926 is the date of mfg. That would put it towards the end of production. I would assume, the Arabic mark, is from one of Italy's North African colonies?

I agree, newly made 'Tourista" piece, or art project. Pretty neat though. Probably a machine ground blade. I bought a bone handled axe, with iron head years ago off ebay. Seller said he bought it in...

I hate to see a post, go neglected. Blade and possibly guard have a Filippino appearance. If that's the case, it looks re-hilted. My other thought is, a modern one-off, hand made, medieval dagger.

Very nice breast plate. And it does seem to have some age to it. As stated, these are being made now, and some are "patinated", to look old. They were magically expected to deflect enemy weapons. In...

I'm going to venture a guess: Spanish Colonial Artillery Sword from the Filippines. My quess comes from a Naval Cutlass I once had with a similarly angular hilt. But curved, with a knuckle bow.

The percussion gun in this lot, is of unknown origin. The flinters are all from Southeast Asia. Sorry for the far away shot. Couldn't get the closeup to upload.

All I can add is that the scabbard is a Collins No.13. The markings on these machetes were often very light, and easily buffed away.

Definitely Chinese/Formosa, to Southeast Asia. Very nice. The hole in the grip, could be for a sling swivel of sorts. The Southeast Asian guns, don't have provision for a rammer.

Ooh, didn't see the pitting in the first photo. No, not a polish candidate. Looks like it bathed in something caustic, and was cleaned up. Still, it is an interesting, and historic piece.
