Thanks very much Archer! this really is a beauty and had no idea of the size.....sure sounds like a war dagger OK! Probably didnt wear this one on the chest...would look like one of those rapper medallions that weigh half a ton

I wish I did still have my library with me......but the few books I have crammed everywhere in this RV is why we call it 'the bookmobile'

Thank you again for sharing this with us, what intriguing history.
Congratulations and all the best,
Jim
