Doesnt make it valuable and does make it Roman Viking or Medievel. Value $2-$10
Especially since it's broken. I'm outta here. The replies in this thread remind me of a very famous quote from the movie Cool Hand Luke. I think you know which i'm referring to.

You mean you finally realized its not a meterite, its not a Viking knife, it not from the Middle Ages, it wasnt shot from a cannon during the Civil War, and its not Roman?
