This has both of those features, but like you all said - it's very high quality looking... 
 
Please don't be disappointed that it's a glorified working tool. Remember it meant something real important to someone, and it is definitely an important part of these people's history. Agriculture must have been important and support this society. No food support-base to the society, and what weapons would you be collecting? They'd all be starving and dying - not much weapons manufacture if you're dying.    In my opinion, it's a nice thing to have if you have the space.
