Junk or Roman spearhead?

In my spare time, I enjoy metal detecting. They're currently rerouting a small river in my town. They straightened it in the 1930s to allow the water to drain away quickly, which they apparently...

It's made of wrought iron. Its total length is 123 cm. It weighs...

Thank you all for your comments!

Unfortunately no cannonballs then, although they were advertised as such by the auction. I have since sent them an email to point out their mistake.

Besides the small "cannon" from my other post, there were also some cannonballs. From the photos that the auction house had on their site and also based on the description, I thought that these were...

arquebus??

Today I picked this up at the auction where I won it. I thought I could judge it from a few photos. It was a lot with what the description also said were cannonballs and a miniature cannon.
When I...

Thanks Jim, that is indeed what you would expect. The absence of a year and the letter of the city is also suspicious to me. It was offered to me but I think I will pass on this one.

Thanks for your response David. Unfortunately I don't have more pictures. The blade is old, I've seen it. The blade shows much more wear than the grip. That's why I think it was replaced at some...

VOC marked pedang

Saw this VOC mark on a pamor pedang. No date or other stamps. Blade is marked on both sides near the hilt. It seems a bit odd to me. what's your opinion? The hilt looks like a replacement, is not as...

Sword bayonet

Picked this up today. It had been in someone's attic for 40 years, along with some krisses and a few rotten hunting rifles. It's a sword bayonet that reminds me from a distance of a Bruswick rifle...

After reading your messages I decided to give them a makeover. Fine steel wool and a little oil will work wonders:). I leave the sheaths as they are.
