			I have seen blades very similar to these , I'm afraid there is a possibillity that these are from an agricultural cutting machine or similar (combine harvester ?)  ...they also had the 3 rivet holes

			Hi Spiral, 
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	I saw some similar to these at an auction....I thought they were unusual blades...because of the three 'fixing holes'. Luckily a 'farmer type' informed me they were 'cutters' from a farm machine. I saw 3 'ethnic spearheads' on eBay, recently, with the same rivet hole pattern...but not with curved blades (long tapering triangle)....but these had remnants of green paint   I could be totally wrong about these....but the wear marks around the rivet holes suggests great force elongated the holes and ripped the rivets out.... Regards David  |

 ![]() EDITED Sorry Tom I have just realised you were refering to a bolt mentioned in another post on this subject.   The missing 'tang' appears to have been 'sheared' off .....a lot of force would be required to have done this...
