Interesting, ive never seen ones like Genes shown you in what I guess is a world wide arms catalouge? {I wonder how many dealers on this forum have flogged..... woops I better not say that..... might upset far to many people.}
But I have seen dozens of larger versians of what look like identical pieces to your minatue examples. look at the rivets, the poor shape of blades, course camel or buffalo bone grips, crude semi Persian revival carving etc.
Belief is a powerfull thing, its probably been responsible for more problems & death in the world than even greed has.
But we all our own.....right or wrong. even me.....
I realy dont know with definity about these, but know how they look to me.But thats just my belief so it could be wrong.
