Tim and Colin, thank you so much for adding such detail and observation in your discussion on these. It is wonderful when learned collectors who are focused on specific fields of weapons share such informed observations, as these threads become valuable resources for both present and future reference.
Essentially its like having the standard references, but with great annotation with updated and subsequent material added.
I agree with Tim, that often is the case when a term or specific tribal identification becomes used collectively in describing certain types and groups of weapons. I think that is what we are all about here, trying to better detail those broad identifications.
Thanks very much guys!
All the best,
Jim
