Ebay success, been a long time.
Dan ceremonial axe. I thought I had information on these but cannot find it anywhere. I do believe Freddy has one and possibly more info. Anybody with more information please post some. |
Congratulations. I have never seen it before (and no literature to this), but it looks interesting and nice.
