'sorry this photo is unavailable'

Berkley · Jan 12, 2002

but if I click and paste the address from "properties", I get to the pic. Similar to the problem you used to have posting from :barf: PhotoPoint.

Bill Martino · Jan 12, 2002

No pix anywhere here. I edited your post, John, copied the address of the pix and was able to get to it like that.

Berkley · Jan 12, 2002

lets me swipe it and post it:

Time for the fabulously wealthy Mr.`Powell to go for the gold

{P.S. - Did you leave your pocket watch stuck in the frog?)

Bill Martino · Jan 12, 2002

That worked. I find this the easiest way to post a pix but you're in trouble if you want to post two or more pix or if the pix is a little large.

John Powell · Jan 12, 2002

I tried it twice and it showed up and disappeared again...then I had to resubmit my password to reply. Guess it (or me) needs a little more work.

Not a pocket watch nor an early diaphragm, but a plain medallion. I'm sure it was added at a later date.

I see only the pix Berk posted.

I like the faceted chape.

Maybe the sarkis could do that with their scabbards.

Bill Martino · Jan 12, 2002

That's what I need, Dave, some special order faceted shaped chapes.

I see your pix, Bob.

Thanks Uncle

Just trying to see if it would work in case I ever get something to show.

John can tell you more - but in the meantime...this symbol was discussed on the thread http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=180543&perpage=20&pagenumber=2

(and a little bit on http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=185213&highlight=crescent & http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=185301&highlight=crescent )

Jim,
Got this on eBay years ago and I haven't done any major cleaning. There is a very similar knife in the Gurkha Museum 'back room'.
