Hi Dave
Coptic ... here in Paris
not too much easy to found people could read that very old (pre-Islamic) writing,
excepted Coptic priests, or Ethiopian people ... may be ??

by the way, give me some acute pics,
when I get to see my Coptic friends
I would see with them, but this will take time
because we have very few here,
one (1) in Paris, and the second in Lille ... 190 miles far ...
most of our friends are Muslims ...

Kai: It's possible you could be right about a Spanish blade being welded to
a moro handle and gangya. We are going down to Pasadena next weekend
for a big three day knife show. After things settle down when we have been
home for a few days then i'll have a chance to do an etch and we can find
out whats going on.........Dave.
