/me whips out the 17th C. German rapier hiding in the closet and snaps two pics of the turk's head from the back and the front showing the normal lines of the turk's head and also where the two ends seem to meet...

if the above isn't working try:

Word of warning, the images are around 400k each, I left the images full size for detail purposes.

Also, the turk's head wiggles a little bit, but where the ends join, there is no movement at all and it is rather difficult to discern whether or not they are tucked under the pommel, but I don't really feel like disassembling this piece to find out <img src="/forum/images/icons/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Hope this helps...

Eric

Ok, it looks like my registrar is having some problems... As for the rapier, it was hanging out in my closet for the last week or two while I clean my computer/arms room.

I've moved it here:

Sorry for the delay on that...

Best Regards:
