Now thats interesting! No telling where these briquet hilts ended up. I always wonder if these strange combinations using them were perhaps ersatz weapons thrown together by local blacksmith/armorers....or other.
They could surely be a collecting genre of their own.
Still, its fun imagining what secrets they might hold.
