Before this thread takes its place in the 'archives' I'd like to thank Gav, Dom and Jens for responding here, and hope that Dmitry will continue posting items for discussion. Although there are a few of us who will spend time researching and offer observations and notes, it is good to see that the lurkers are getting some helpful information
With our small cadre of responders here came in with 9 posts, look at the lurking tally.....423 views so far!!!!

While surprised that our lurking community has so little to offer as far as contributions, comments or examples on these interesting daggers, it is clear the interest is there, so I hope the thread will serve well to those who use the search feature.

Jim is right; it is a bit strange that so few respond, and that there are so many lurkers.

Here is one of mine. The hilt is decorated in a geometrical dot pattern, and the blade nicely watered.

Gents, stranger still no one else has taken the time to welcome a new member considering there is a vast interest from 'active' members regarding early Indian weaponry. Not very encouraging stuff.
As for lurkers, there is not much you can do about them, god bless them for putting the forum in the radar though, the more hits the more exposure for the forum.

Funny thing you write Gav, as both Jim and I have welcomed the new member, but he has been very quiet. So I don't quite understand your mail.

Marhatt, for the benefit of those who have never held such an old piece, could you please share dimensions, weights points of balance etc, I know I am interested in hearing more.

Jens, I'll send you a PM.

[QUOTE = флибустьер] Marhatt, на благо тех, кто никогда не было такой старой части, не могли бы Вы, пожалуйста, поделиться размеры, вес точки баланса и т.д., я знаю, что интересно узнать больше.

Jens, я пришлю вам PM.

I am sorry for silence in theme Cillanum. To my shame I do not know English language. Only German. Therefore to me with transfer kindly helps Ariel. But, it is not convenient to me to disturb him often. Now I translate in translit and is not assured that all will be correctly translated. Once again I apologise.
Cillanum my familiar photographer now photographs. As soon as it will be at me, I will inform the participant of a forum its sizes. And any other parametres which will interest

[Jens Nordlunde]

Let's take it easy from here.
It is very nice of Ariel to help out by translating from Russian, but if you write in German I may be able to translate it into English, and I am sure several of the members do read German :-).
