an underappricated weapon to be sure..........does anyone have/have seen one from before the 1700's? ive never seen one older thean the mid 1800s......and how much truth is there to the origination story of the weapon, that it came into use after the anglo-norman conquest in the 1200s when the barons forbade the irish from carrying swords/lances......
