Of course you wouldn't, your pants would be around your ankles! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Yeah.... I might have an idea. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Have you narrowed down a plan that you might start to grind on?

I can't wait to see what your end result might look like. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

.

I was thinking something similar along those lines.....

Pitman, Man what ever you do I HOPE YOU ain't going to USE that <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />!!!!!!
That is a Imperial German 1855 Pioneer Short Sword <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />. You see, this is what I collect, and I have been ask by others to assist in the writting of a book regarding Czech, and Slovakian bayos, swords and fighting knifves. The German stuff pretty much has been tackled, but nothing regarding the Czech stuff, at least in English. I have 193 Swords, Bayos, Daggers, Fighting knives, and Jack knives in my personal collection at present. This is not including any modern knives at all, just MILITARY cutting edges.

Did you get a sheath with it??? As it sits it can fetch at least $250.00-$300.00 even without the sheath. Also, there should be a series of #'s and letters on the left side of the crossguard, I can most likely tell you what the unit was that it was issued to. There will be a series of #'s, and letterson the spine just infront of the Crossguard also, In fact let me know what on it, and I'll tell you some of the history of it.

BUT DON'T USE A PIECE OF HISTORY----PLEASE!!!!!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> Send me a phone # via PM, and I'll call you if you choose.

USE IT!!!! Beat that BEAST......hell, a DFLE can get near that much on the 2nd market.

gravelface

ahaha.

magnum isn't your HI sword about that thick? maybe even thicker?

YEAH! - I appreciate history and all.... But, I would rather see what it can do. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

It is all rusted now anyway. So, what's a few scratches and dings? If it breaks, it wasn't a worthy piece of history anyway. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Wow. That's pretty cool. You really shouldn't use it. Either keep the tradition of passing it down from generation to generation or donate it.

I use to have an old WWII Commemorative Chinese broadsword but decided to donate it to one of the museums in China. It was my grandfather's who was a 3 star general in the PLA.

It was rather large, as swords are.

As far as choppers. The axes and hatchets are the king of wood chopping. Even an extremely dull hatchet can easily out chop most large knives on a tree with a diameter of 5" or more.

I think we really need to bring back the Busse Family hatchet series. Maybe even create a large axe.
