[QUOTE="Salaethus, post: 4217024, member: 109856"]Here's something a little different: a dagger that was originally made as a spear head! [ATTACH=full]1079979[/ATTACH] An ancient European Bronze Age reworked dagger, dating to approximately 800 BC. Of rare and unusual form, with a long ridged handle, slender blade and prominent central rib. Unusually, this piece appears to have originally been made as a spear head, subsequently broken (possibly in battle), and reworked into a dagger. Beating marks from this process of reworking are still clearly visible. Length: 8 ½ inches. Ex-Collection of Henk Huffener (1923 – 2006)[/QUOTE]
