During my stay with the royal family of the Barambha ghar (during the time of 10+2 days from 1995-1997) the portion I was staying the wall were decorated with the display of the weapons and old guns those were not in working condition,
well when ever I do visit the royal family again I will post the photo of that portion those weapons are really good from point of view of attack and defense as well.

it is not more then 9 inch, by any way of import

but it is not limited for agricultural tools and for souvenirs - knives/swords with blunt edge and soft (not tempered)steel, souvenirs should be send along with certificate

2) Never let the muzzle cover anything you are not willing to destroy.
3) Keep your finger off the trigger till your sights are on the target.
4) Identify your target, and what is behind it.

I love the 'RMT' or Rocky mountain tread on the handle. Looks like a secure grip in any condition. Also the blade shape is unique. Want one now!! :D

Awesome for the price. Discouraging for shipping. Thought of ordering it online. The shipping cost is $30 compared to this beauty @ $20. :cry:
