I suspect the seller is using a translation program. I can't imagine some of those complex words being present in an inexperienced english speaker's lexicon.

Since this is an Ethnographic weapons forum, can I assume this piece is vintage American club or axe (as stated earlier)?

I enjoy the Chinese initiative and trying to get something said, even if it did come out weird!

Sometimes they use english words I have never heard. I got called a "Marplot" (officious busybody who wants to ruin someone) by a Chinese seller to whom I sent a well deserved negative.

No doubt it's translation program. I just wonder why do I try so hard while I can use one too
