It looks too good to be true to me.
 Wouldn't want it in my collection as it has too many question marks attached. |

I think the lack of centuries of corrosion tells it all.

But what if it had been in a glacial mass and had just melted out 100 years ago.
They're finding bodies in the Alps from 50 years ago or older these days; Iceman etc. http://www.ancient-origins.net/news-...08760/page/0/1 Last edited by Rick; 12th September 2017 at 09:46 PM. |

I was skeptical at first, but it is being considered genuine by Norwegian archeologist and has been written up in reasonably legitimate publications.
