Go ahead and show us examples ;you know you want to! I would find it very informative.
I also don't think that they are African currency pieces or African, even though one could make an argument that they look like some of the Sudanese Mahdist weapons.Is the double pronged blade thickened at the end for armor piercing?
They could be Qajar Dynasty parade pieces ;in either case, be they Mahdist or Qajar items, they would fall in Shakethetrees's time line for machine made screws(I think).

Gimme a few days to get through some real world things. A recent close family member's passing has put a big hiccup in my life that I need to get through.

I will attempt to gather several examples side by side.

This would be an excellent topic of its own. Do we continue in Ethno, or European? Both are equally valid.

Thank you for your concern. It's never easy, but something we all have to face.

Trenchwarfare, You have been here long enough to know that asking for an evaluation of any item goes against forum policy. I suggest that you might want to re-read the forum rules to help from making this kind of mistake again in the future.
