Now is that figure at the top of the hilt the Lion of St Mark? Or could it be the Lion from the Wizard of Oz? ;)

Point taken Gentlemen :)

Heres a real one Tim, not like you poor imitation! with a rare walrus handle in the figure shape of a chattanogatsssa canoe. {the people are lyeing down in it as the boats been upturned in the whitewater rapids so you cant see them though. ;) } although it does resemble an Afghan cavalry sabre in certan light. :D

Study & learn....

Poor lion...
 

I think we’ve lost it here folks, there no need for a cowardly attack on the lion.

It’s time for lunch. I think I will have chicken. So, I am off to see the gizzard….

*groan* :rolleyes:

Okay, I can live with the parody, teasing and good-natured "ribbing". However, if you guys start slinging bad puns around, I will lock this thread down! :D
