Satanic dagger, Age & country of Origin?

Jim McDougall · 16th January 2007, 05:27 PM

I recall years ago researching a tulwar that had been labeled a Sikh weapon, and I had been inquiring numerous sources to find exactly what indicators or markings would define a weapon as Sikh. I eventually contacted the author of a book on the Sikh Faith with the history of their warriors. When I inquired and asked that question the author replied, "if a weapon was used by a Sikh, then it is Sikh", and suggested that they used many weapons, not necessarily marked or of specific form.

With that I realized a key factor in studying weapons in general, that often what identifies a weapon historically with any group may not be distinguishable by its appearance or origin.

Perhaps what is sinister here is not the dagger itself

An incorrect rude & ignorant comment, truly reavealing of you & your deeper nature Jim.

Its fascinating to see people look into a mirror & then object to what they see.

Its worth looking into & working on.

recalling your earlier comment "the devil made me do it" .
