I start by saluting you, Mr. Bowditch
I regret not having discerned the correlation between the main Forum page and this Swap section, in what touches the criteria of ethnographic weapons subscribed by you or and the Staff in general.
I regconize that my intent was that of offering a sword for sale without observing any selective rules, same as those who, for an example, i have seen offering Betel nut cutters for sale in this very section , an item hardly more connected to arms & armour than the sword i offered for sale or swap.
I fail to understand the contents of your Post Scriptum. If you are referring to the support text linking the book to the sword, you will rather observe that such text and book were an element to help dispatching the sword, and by no means a proposal to discuss the matter.
On the other hand and the way i view it, if you or the Staff found reason to criticize my attitude in announcing a so called non etnhographic item in this section, there is no need to maintain the thread open, on a basis of tolerance, for i will therefore request you to remove such thread.
I am sorry for the lack of politeness expressed; my english and my manners could well be better.
At your disposal
Fernando Viana
