Am I really totaly wrong?
If Ashoka knew what it was, and he is a great connosieur of asiatic arms I think, he would obviously write it down...
Look carefully to both of the auctions again. Eftis wouldn't lie that it was found in Hungary (wich is the case, that it is verry close to Slovenia) I think. And Ashoka would be certain of its origin if it were rather a recent beduin piece. Ab further there is strong evidence that a similar weapon (again with turkish blade) was used in central Europe 300 years ago...
Now look at the picture from my book.
No, I do not feel offended and Ok, maybe I'm wrong, but at least not totally.
