    Haha no worries, all this stuff fascinates me. History, where we came from, is exciting. Better than any fiction . That sword is crazy BTW. I got a bunch of swords completely covered in patina idk anything about I'll try and post tonight.

    Do I see a lot of napkin rings? Or is my sense of scale distorted?

    Thanks Komo,that's it !...Are those napkin rings/jewelry findings Moroccan/Indian ? Some pretty nice workmanship.I'd buy a couple in that bottom box-beautiful.
    Sky-Google 'Keris' sword,a lot of them have that curvy blade & there's a fair amount of collectors.

    They are bracelets. None I believe are napkin rings. But I believe they would make great napkin rings loll

    I could be wrong but I think those swords are pretty damn special. If not I think one of the swords my dad got is very special. I just have never been able to talk to any enthusiasts about it.

    Wow dude.... as I said, I think, in my first post. My dad had a friend in Iraq, who apparently traveled all over, and sent him things as he acquired them. I firmly believe everything I have is real. My dad was legit a genius and the closest person to God I have ever known.

    But again, I want the RED PILL always. I love the truth and reality over all. However, my ring I wear imma close the book on that. I like a Lil mysticism. I'm getting ready to post some rings I'll tag you.

    Your reaction definitely gave me a dose of inspiration and motivation

    My only concern is, CAN I have this stuff? I feel like since I inherited it I should be good..

    I don't want uncle Sam to come take what my dad collected for me and my brother. If it's even worth taking. Have no clue on both fronts.
