Very nice, none of my scabbard tips ever turned out very nice. But I have to add a thanks to you, I have dug many of the lead base's that held the zinc ring, and until today I have never but it togeather as to what they actually were. One more little mystery solved, thanks for helping....HH....Bill

Nice finds!!! I very rarely send a comment, I know I should do it more often because I really think this site is terrific! The bullet second from left looks like one I found a couple of years ago at a monastery in central Canada. What age would it be approximately?

Thanks for all the wonderful stories.
