It is just unbelievable (although I believe..:D ) the finds you guys make over there... I need to go there MD'ing sometime... have been on business several times, before I got into the hobby. RickO
 
I don't quite understand - I looked up chape and it says it's the protective housing for the blade point at the end of a sheath. What do you mean by handle ? Neat old history - sure puts our little 100 years in the shade :) Steve in so az

Hrrrmm...*clears throat* I believe we have history since 1770s, for coins at least. :lol: Just had to defend our coin-dom history.

Way to go Simon! I love what you find! HH
