[QUOTE="KSW, post: 3315499, member: 8708"]One of the more unusual oddities I have acquired;). I have googled and all I come up with are savage looking spears!. Not that this isn’t capable of causing a fairly serious injury if worn without due care and attention. It could be the first ‘death by brooch’ as both the pin and the spear are very sharp. At first I wondered if it was meant to represent a pen but I don’t think so now. At 9cm long it could do some damage. The clasp looks pretty old to me but any ideas why this would be a suitable theme for a pin, if it is indeed of some age or masquerading or if it’s just ill advised tourist tat, where did it originate? Thanks for looking. :) [ATTACH=full]298941[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]298942[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]298943[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]298944[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]298945[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]298946[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]298947[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]298948[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]298949[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
