The second picture of the end grain shows that the color of the supposed heartwood is through color as it should be for heartwood. So the surface wasn't burned or stained that color on the one side. ...

Iguanas are from the Americas. Mostly South America, but there are two species as far north as Southern California (the Desert Iguana and the Chuckwalla). Point being that they are not native to...

Could you better define Giant? I don't know the size of the relatively small one, so I don't know the size of the larger one. Also I was told that large simple butte rings instead of Riveted bails...

I think it is interesting that they paired the pata (plur. s?) with the rifles. I've never seen a pata as a wholly practical offensive weapon. But come to think of it. I don't think I can recall any...

I thought Indian Crucible steel was tougher then many Euro Steels? wasn't that why it was being sent to England around 1795 for metallurgical analysis?

I don't know what that is on the handle (looks like raw hide, but from what I couldn't say). And on the sheath...could be young (like hatchling or yearling) crocodile skin. Stretched and really dried...

Field herpetology has been a hobby of mine since childhood. I have handled litterally thousands of reptiles and amphibians from all over the globe. Including some Uromastyx, and even a few Sudan...

what stands out to me is that shiny brass piece. Looks like a pin with nice washer (I thought most such blades were held in with resin). But even if it is only decoration. It looks really new...

That is really sad to hear. Looks like your using a Sony DSC-W150 for most your images (as apposed to say an on-phone-camera). So they likely didn't pull your location from your images meta data....
