Hey everyone, thanx for the replys so far.
DCMatt, I knew there would be someone in here that would come up with the right name to help out an older dude. I love learnin' about history. That word, if not the spelling, was right on the tip of my tongue when I was posting, but I couldn't get it for the life of me.
Thanx for the word fix buddy.
There's more pics below and I've mentioned the size (roughly) to Trk5 'cause I think he's on to something here...
Dugfinds, this little unit has appearantly been stepped on a number of times which flattens it out more than it would be if not so squashed. So maybe that makes it look too square for you to think of it as being a scabbard?
No guess as to what it may be then bud?
C'mon now, don't be shy, you're among friends here.
By the looks and heft of this thing, I would say it's made of brass...
There's another hint right there.
Check out the new pics and see if you can come up with something.
Don't be given up on us just yet there partner. 8)
Michelle, ma belle, don't think it could be one of those, because this rig is fairly old, like maybe even as old as this here writer,
or even, God forbid, older than that even.
Glad to see you folks tryin' though. That's the communication stuff I was goin' on about in one or two of my other posts and or threads on this Fine Forum.
Thx 4 the guess. Keeps our minds sharper!
Trk5capt, it's 3 1/2 inches by 1 5/8 , squashed to 1 3/4 on the opposite end to the throat portion and 5/8" thick at it's widest part on the throat, where a blade would fit in? I'll post another pic or 2, but I think you are right on the money my sharp eyed friend. If that's the case are we looking at a keeper or do you think it's too common to bother with? 8)
Here they are Trk5
What 'cha think about them apples?
