One of the variations made by E.G.W(E.G.Waterman), out of N.Y.;usually they will be marked "EGW."

Surgi-
I guess the notes I made on the tomahawk post last May weren't too clear?
Where do you usually post militaria and reproductions?

Our lead moderator Fernando passed away a year ago, and was adamant about keeping these topics out of these pages, where we discuss arms from all periods and places up to 1900, with certain exceptions with items from those earlier periods transcending into later use.

I guess now that he's gone, the guidelines we set in 2008 are as well?
