There are many things worth trying for. Occasionally worth lying for. But there's bugger all worth dying for so I'll stick to the roving life.

Narwhal Tusks

Gifted to me by a wonderful friend!

Legalities: Narwhal are primarily hunted for their meat by the Inuit of northern Canada. This hunt is tightly regulated by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans and pilot projects are providing more local autonomy. The tusks provide a secondary resource and source of cash and are not the primary objective of the hunt. Trade in this ivory and its ownership is legal within Canada.

British Pattern 1827 Rifle Officer’s Sword

A lovely Rifles officer’s sword, by Wilkinson, dated to 1887 and named. This numbered Wilkinson is unresearched, but the officer’s name is kindly etched on the blade - C Little, Commandant of the Berar Volunteer Rifles 1887. The sword itself has a grey patina overall, with a few patches of light pitting, but is in nice condition generally and totally solid. The blade has clear etching overall, is straight and solid in the hilt. It is a rather beefy sword of chunkier proportions than average. The guard is extra detailed with ‘optional extra’ engraving around the Rifles horn, featuring palm fronds.
