Wow Ken! THAT is exactly what I'm talking about! and that is even beyond astonishing to have found such a treasure in this situation. Thank you so much for entering this here, and for the very kind words. Having you join us here was very much our good fortune.
With this unusual topic, I wanted to explore a bit more on exactly this kind of situation with weapons used theatrically and in other such situations. For example, I have discovered circumstances where actual vintage swords were used in Masonic lodges and among regalia.
Conversely, in investigation of certain items found archaeologically, it was discovered that for example, items thought to be antique have many times been actually theatrical props.
Thank you again, very much,
Very best regards
Jim
