<p>[QUOTE="springfld.arsenal, post: 9489939, member: 54"]I contacted Prof. Reilly who now has all the images of the markings etc. He has a Chinese acquaintance who is going to do her own translation. He hasn’t encountered the trident mark before, in connection with the Taiping Rebellion, so I’m thinking it was carved in at the discretion of the carver or owner. The Taiping used real trident weapons extensively as evidenced by displays on the Taiping museum in China.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
