Hello! Just wanted to share a pic of my first Neil blade; the type G. I love it and have been working on polishing it a bit; the surface had some light waviness that I wanted to level out more, but it seems common on a lot of the bronze blades. Eventually I'll carve hilt pieces for it and grind the ridge out of the handle.

Thanks to this forum I discovered the amazing world of bronze weapons! So far I only have 3 blades in my tiny collection. Bronzes can get addicting lol.

Hey Eric, is the item on the right a dagger, or a Spear?

Cheers,

Nik

GORGEOUS. I have GOT to get more shine from my swords! Yup, bronze weapon collecting is an incurable disease. It's not highly communicable, but we DO try to spread it around, ha! Luckily, it's transmittable through the Internet.

Thanks for helping, and congrats!

Thanks for the comments!

Nik: The blade on the far right is a 'mid to late bronze age' dagger I purchased from Mike Kasner a while back ago.
