Living in a fairly active port, with the shipyards, the Navy,the various coal, container, grain, etc. terminals, I can remember seeing huge antique files for work aboard vessels. In those days (maybe 50 or 60 years ago), almost all of the repairs were done by the C/eng. .Given the long Spanish and the American presence in the Philippines, I could easily see some Philippine bartering with an American for a large piece of good steel!
I noticed that you have an anvil, a hammer, the files and several nice weapons;did you make those ?
