Early Halberd for coments

Wow! That looks great. From the pics, you can't tell the shaft is modern. This is an exceptional piece as always, my friend. If you ever decide to throw it away...

Thank you Mark.
Wait until you see what i have acquired today; will in principle pick it up on Monday.
It has nothing to do with this type of stuff, but something i bought to try and make you envy ... i hope

Hi ' Nando,

My dearest friend:
Though honoring Mark's suggestion: should you ever decide on putting it in the garbage can please consider me first! I'll by tryin' to bid you out, Mark!

'Nando, I promise you I'll be comin' 'round soon and post more on this type of early halberds! I realize it's overdue since long ago. Please be patient, it's one of these hard times to me at the moment again that Woody Guthrie used to sing a whole lot about ...

And: yes, oh the tease!

Best,
Michl

Dear Michl,
What can i say ?
I remember feeding my moral status whilst being submitted to my (vast) heavy surgical/endurance processes: cheer up man; there is always somebody who is in a worse situation

Just come back ... no excuses

'Nando, my friend,

I didn't know what you had to to undergo to - please forgive me! It seems my heart is much more on my tongue than yours ... but otherwise, I'm all on my own while you, lucky guy that you are!

) you have your family and beautiful cats (all pics of of them saved, of course).

I really envy you for carrying on your live the way you do!

Coming back soon,
Michl

I, too, wish you a speedy recovery and return to the Forum, Michael. I do especially miss seeing the early cannons, bombards, grenades, swivels, etc, etc. Take care!
