<<JUST BELOW THE AFRICAN LEAF PATTERN SWORD KNIFE>>
Found this at a local gun (pawn) shop a while ago and it sat in the corner waiting for me to identify it. I've been a bad gun-daddy as I have been unable to figure it out. If someone cut it down from an original rifle, it was very well done and a very long time ago. I never had any ammo, and the shop didn't know what it chambered, so... looks about 30 cal/8mm. Military cartouche is crisp, and overall condition is pretty nice for 107 years old. All in all, I'm happy to have it on my wall. I'm open to any comments about it, can provide better pictures if you tell me what you want to see, and no, I'm not interested in parting with my little guy anytime soon (unless the right trade comes along, you all know how it goes).
Thanks in advance and hope you like what you see.
