My guess would be that this is indeed a later imitation. I've seen a couple of mentions of "multi barrel goose guns" which I am going to guess that this is. The fact that this is a "taken down...

I'm not sure about the blade but I have a match for the maker of the basket at least. This one was a good brain teaser to find. I found a mention in "The Silver Spoon Club" magazine from 2006 that...

Thank y'all very much for your input. Is there any hallmarks that help with determining age of a shamshir? I know the basics of identifying place of origin but to me there doesn't seem to be much...

The following is a breastplate form the Royal Collections trust. It states that the Helmeted A was used by the London Armourers' Company after 1649/1650. What I thought were the letters "NM" to the...
