Gile Jile or what have you.
Picked this up at a local arms fair on Sunday, well shabby and I nearly left it on the table but had second thoughts. I didn't have one and we don't see them that often in my neck of the woods. The...

Latest arrival, another Albacete dagger.
Arrived yesterday via a private sale on a forum I belong to, at a price I could not resist. Not really a lot to say about it except that the punched decoration seems very fresh.

Gun case for transport.
I am not entirely sure if this is the right forum to post on, but it looks the best bet. A recent purchase from Flea Bay, a late 19th early 20th century, hard leather, lockable case for a "take down"...
