A very nice array of pipes and scales Stuart. Concealed edged weapons is what first started me collecting weapons, apart from comis books as a kid. I have had a vast array of high end sword canes, swagger canes, riging crops, camel whips all with various styles of blades but until now, I have never seen such an oddity, very nice and unusual indeed.

I've just sent you an email to your home email with an array of artifacts, some 3-500years old, others a lot newer, I thought the opium scales might be of interest to you.

regards

Gavin

As stated above, the scales etc are not mine, but are a pic in a book titled Peoples of the Golden Triangle. I WISH THEY WERE MINE!!!
