Doesn't look that bad to me. Seems used, wood and leather are well patinated, the writing style of the numbers looks legit. Could also be 19th c. historicism, hard to tell, but the overall impression...

Seems to be a 20th century piece, but those were, as has already been stated, not necessarily been made for tourists, but were also used at powwow. Many were just wallhangers though.

The Inca did indeed have boleadoras with heads like that, but they usually don't come with their handles intact. So I guess this is at least partially a reconstruction.

However, it is not always...

Actually looks more like an axe if you ask me. Hard to see if it has an edge.

Nice club... :)
Here's a picture of my own. Most of these seem to date around 1900. I haven't seen many authentic examples from pre-reservation times.

African mask - Kongo?

Hello dear fellow collectors,

A friend of mine got this African mask and asked me for my opinion. I don't know much about African masks, but it reminded me of "Bwoom" masks from Kongo. What do you...

So sad to hear that. He once asked me to show my "Klotzgeschoss" (clot shot), but I couldn't find it at the time. Strangely, a few days ago, I remembered his request and intended to finally make a...

Unfortunately not a real nihonto. You can tell, among other things, by the shape of kissaki.

Looking for Eskimo tools & weapons

Hi all,

I am looking for eskimo tools and weapons, for example pre-1950 ulu knives or harpoon heads. If someone has anything like that and wants to sell it, please contact me.

Thanks

Book recommendations for pre-columbian antiquities

Dear Forumites,

Can anyone give me good recommendations for books about pre-columbian antiquities? Is there something analogous to "Indian & Eskimo Artifacts of North America"?

Thank you very...

It seems indeed to have been cleaned halfheartedly, with a lot of the surface rust still on it. The problem is that we don't know if it was desalinated. Most of the corrosion is produced by the...

Be careful when handling a Dremel though. Some objects are so fragile that it is better to just conserve them as they are, without removing the surface rust. Hard to judge by pictures, would have to...

That's right, but in view of the manipulations on one of the intact spikes (last picture), I think it is more likely that it was done so that it can stand on edge, which it perfectly does. The patina...

Here are two more pictures. I have uploaded them externally so that I can show them in maximum size.
On the interior there seems to be a bit more patina, but it was tough to photograph.
