Hi guys,

Thanks for the commentary and input. Again, this type of piece is not in my collecting area of interest, but this one had so much instant eye appeal it was hard to resist.

Marcus, your example is interesting as well with the brass inlaid haft. Not only would that provide for a good grip, but I am amazed that so much intricate hammering could be done without breaking the haft.

Robert, the thread you mentioned is outstanding. Originally I had only seen page 1, and did not realize how long, comprehensive and varied it really was.

Thanks again.
