Wooden Club

Hello. I’ve had this club for a few years now and it remains a bit of a mystery. I bought it as African and still think it is. But I’ve amassed a bit of a collection over the years and it doesn’t...

Thoughts?

Hello. This caught my eye because it resembles (stylistically) some maces I've seen. Of course it is too small to be a sword breaker/mace. But nicely cast to my eye. And seems to show some...

Marked on the point with what I believe is a variation of the Solingen Cross.

Great knives! Good to see them in this condition.
I have a Kokok (Mak) with the Cambodian attribution on the blade. Also some other features similar to the knives shown here.

Beautiful Dhas! Nicely displayed. Also like that you are watching the humidity. A big factor in deciding how, or if to show.

Not peened. And I just noticed that yours has a butt cap? I'll take a look to see if mine ever did. But I don't think so.

I have a spearhead here from the Bikaner Armoury that I thought might be useful for reference. I've liked everything I've seen and handled from Bikaner. Solid, no nonsense weapons.
