I just looked at the link again and that is an active auction. I know you meant no infraction but so you know in the future active auction items cannot be discussed on the forums. I made the same mistake when I came here and someone had to tell me.

Most off the VOC swords where gifts not for use off fighting but for status .
In that time soldiers had there own weapon not al the same . Henk is right about this . Ben |
