[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 893039, member: 2844"]Before anyone tags me;) the keris etc are all Filipino Moro, not my area of interest or knowledge. Most look like they need tlc. Not a mace, not Ottoman empire.:playful: It is a small lantaka/rentaka, a ship's canon used in Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philipines. The two knobs on the sides serve to rest in a swivelling support, so it can be turned in the direction of the enemy ship. I suspect this one is from the Philippines, just like the keris. [USER=54]@springfld.arsenal[/USER] will probably know if it is a replica or the real deal.[/QUOTE]
