An Observation
Tim,
I had this on my watch list and was almost tempted to bid. It's one of those items that looks almost " Too Nice " or "Too pristine ". Perhaps it's just the quality of the photographs. It has a tactile look about it that made me want to own it.  If, as the vendor says, it is pre 1900 then it is in amazing condition. I did not bid in the end because it LOOKS NEW. We all want good condition weapons but when we see them we get suspicious that they may be fakes.  To answer your question - I have no idea what it is !!!!  I would still like to touch it though !! ( Does this make me wierd ?  )Royston |
