Hi, so does this mean this green type of rock is also being found inland of New Guinea?
Also, the more I look at that wonderfull bicolor rope, the more I like it! Also as it is not bicolored all the way.
Surely an authentic item. The marks on the handle are not a negative, its just I think anyone can see its not an 'ancient used and smoothly patinated handle'.
Perhaps you should handle the axe yourself quite some more and help the patine . . .
