still trying to get the hang of this camera..
I am not used to working with something this small.. & it appears difficult to not get glare off the metal & the focus..so, for now.. til I learn to work with this cam.. here's some of the blades...
This one is a Japanese Arisaka Bayonet from 1841
This next one is from Spain somewhere between late 1600's & early 1700's.
The hilt is made of gold, is hand carved & has turquoise stones & a good portion of the blade is engraved with flower & vine
More coming next post,,,
