Look at these! Worrying about snipers is nothing you need to worry about your own mind, after all, you are all free to snipe but you are stuck with yourself . What planet was I on when I bought these . I could have bought six portions of fish and chips. Cut in half then bound together and covered in varnish. There are also split rings screwed into the top and bottom so that they could be displayed crossed. A real shame as they would have been rather nice and I liked the use of split nut as a wieght at the spear end. Agian I was in a sort of trance and just saw what I wanted, after picking them up and down several times I sort of knew they were rubbish but I went and bought them .

Thanks everyone for the kind comments!

Yannis, I agree with Napoleon, it is better to be lucky than good.

Jose, growing up is over rated, of course there are some benefits.

Tim, stop beating your self up buddy, it took me many years to learn not to rush into a purchase. That once in a lifetime buy occurs more often than that. I like your attitude regarding the mistakes, you may as well laugh at them and learn. Now if only I could do that about my Nortel shares.

All the Best
Jeff

For display they are not bad just get rid of the rings I like the one on the bottom I bought two tulwars last year for $200 and they were real old ones but they were junkers we all make mistakes next time limit yourself to one pint of ale before you hit ebay
