Wow! <img src="/forum/images/icons/shocked.gif" alt="" /> Great pics, Sean! Looks very much like a grosse/langen messer. But great pics none the less! I'm gonna use those for my site ihategiantserpentsandluvwhackingthemwithmybelovedmesser.com <img src="/forum/images/icons/wink.gif" alt="" /> . I'm gonna order that book ASAP.

BTW, I'm gonna post some replies to our "Messertalk!" pretty soon too. I just have to... gather my thoughts a bit first.

Chop them snakes,

Excellent photos. Shawn I'm sorry I've been out of the loop. I'll add your pics to your web section as soon as I can.

This might be slightly off topic but the "snake-attacks" was just some light hearted joking on my part. I have nothing personal against any kind of reptiles. Just thought I'd clear that up. <img src="/forum/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" />

Also: Could that picture be good evidence of the fact that these weapons also doubled as farming/hunting-tools?

Hey Mike,

Your avatar is quite interesting you know. Could it be a representation of your life as a young catholic school student perhaps? <img src="/forum/images/icons/wink.gif" alt="" />

Sorry for being off topic.
