Moro Budiak, battlefield damage?

This spear neither came with a story nor am I attaching one to it.

I certainly wasn't suggesting you were Kino, simply responding to what seems like a general consensus of members who "want to believe".

Nothing personal on my end: this was just a remark summarizing David's general statement.

Oh sure Kino go ahead.............everyone else is doing it.

David and Ariel, Thanks. I just stated it for clarification.

Battara.....when the time comes, a story will surface.

Seriously, I asked the Auction House if they had history on the firearms and edged weapons, they told me that it just came out of an estate. But, I heard from a dealer that the items came out of a local museum that were liquidating their edged weapons and firearms collection because of the negativity surrounding it. It doesn't make sense.

I guess Kino, like many of our pieces, the provenance and (original

) story will be lost to the sands of time................

In cases like this barring provenance, damage such as this does not add to a piece's value, rather it reduces it IMO.

But.

I want to believe also.
