Hi Spiral,
Thank you so much! Thats exactly the kind of information I was looking for! You seem to know a great deal on these, is the kukri your primary field of collecting?
Although I have been always been involved in study on arms and armour, I cannot claim focus or particular expertise on any single field or form. Mostly I very much researching whatever is at hand, and have always worked at developing resources and networks to find information. Naturally gaining overall knowledge on arms develops in degree, and what I have always hoped to do here is continuing that work and sharing that knowledge by learning along with them.
This is the reason I like to try to develop these threads with the weapons shown, and its always great when those with special interest and knowledge come in and share it along with specific observations. I appreciate it very much and hope to learn more on these.
Thanks very much Spiral
All the best,
Jim
