<p>[QUOTE=&quot;carman, post: 11072931, member: 16400&quot;]Hello.&nbsp; I have an item that I am trying to research.&nbsp; It has been stored for many years in my family&#039;s home.&nbsp; It is some sort of a pointed object which is 9 7/8 inches long.&nbsp; The blade (it is &quot;not&quot; a sharp blade) is 5 1/2 inches long and the handle portion is 4 3/8 inches long. The width at the widest portion is 5/8 inches.&nbsp; I think it is brass. It has a heavy feel to it. The &quot;blade&quot; has what I would describe as a hammered design which looks like leaves, on both sides.&nbsp; The handle has two &quot;slots&quot; which both run down the length of the handle.&nbsp; On the handle, there is one small design which is also a &quot;hammered&quot; design and looks &quot;possibly&quot; like a swastika.&nbsp; The swastika (if that is what it is) is very upsetting and offensive to me, but I would still like to know the history of this object; what this object is or was. I have tried to do a google image search but have been unable to find anything quite like this!&nbsp; Am I allowed to post a picture of this object on this site, considering the fact that it has what &quot;may&quot; be a swastika on it?&nbsp; I definitely do not want to break any rules!&nbsp; Please let me know.&nbsp; Thank you.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
