Tim,

You make a very good point, re. many of our fine old weapons not being used in battle.
We do tend to attach a 'romantic' reason for any wear marks, nicks in blades and such like!
It's like the rather silly, "battlefield pick -up" we hear about these days.

Stekemest,
Yes, as you say, Could very well have been carried at powwows & such, where the members didn't normally bash each others brains out.

Robert,
Sorry, I forgot you stated in the OP that it came back with your dad in 1943!!
Smoke smell can be very strong, but not That strong!
