2018 ethnographic weapon

[fernando]

I fully subscribe David's assessment ... with no moderation authority, either.

As an item which will probably never be used as a weapon, but illustrates some of the motifs, materials and techniques used in ethnic weaponry, maybe it could find a home in the Ethnic Miscellania section?

Can't call it a preposterous idea, Wayne .

Well again, i was merely expressing the facts concerning the definition of ethnographic and my opinion that discussions of modern blade craft and methods of forging are somewhat outside the intent and purposes of these forums. I suppose this thread could be moved to another forum, but this isn't actually Ethnographic Miscellania either. Though it may have some future collectors scratching their heads a hundred or so years from now if it loses its line of provenance it is not actually an ethnographic anything.

It's German ethnographic. A future antique.
