Incredibly Lucky Ebay Find?

[ariel]

The Carpathian axe, Valashka, is a totally different animal. The two e-bay ones are Afghani and likely, as Theodor says, pretty fresh. Yours has a more realistic price, to put it mildly

Damn, well, at least it was cheap! Did anyone ever notice that you can't look up the word "axe" in the forum search, because it is too small? Does anyone know a way around that?

I'll post a picture as a public service of the offending axe.

Thanks for the info!

the two copper inlays are indicative of afghani origins i understand.

words of three letters and under are not normally allowed in vbulletin fora searches unless the admins fiddle a bit - there is a setting for min. word length. maybe? would also help for those looking for mfg. stamps and initials on weapons if at least three letters were allowed. as this would tend to use more cpu time, the min. interval between searches could be increased a bit to make up for it.

Those are BRAND NEW tourist pieces from any-stan, produced with chromed blades and then aged... )) I've also burnt myself, not too long ago. As sensei uses to say: Caveat Emptor

If there is a setting that can be changed, its an admin control. As a moderator I have not that power (mighty though I am ).

*axe*
It's a real shotgun approach but it does pull up anything with 'axe' in it; lots to sift through but it is there .

yes, it requires one of the admin gods.

on the forum where i am also a mere lesser moderator, we are attempting to set up a sub forum for 64bit Vista users, we have prayed and chanted the liturgy and are assembling the offerings. we have two of the required 3 virgins but are having trouble finding the 3rd.

*axe* will bring up any post with a word containing 'axe' in it. like 'taxes', there are 181 in english apparently

Thanks Rick! Using that method I was able to find the relavant past threads:
