u/Last-Injury-8555

Hello, can somebody please try there best to translate this. It is on a antique Chinese repeating crossbow. Thanks

1st - Wootz Katar even the grip seems Wootz. Or is it newer acid etched Wootz? The pattern seems authentic to me at least.

2nd - Left handed dagger possibly French. Polishing over the years have left only very faint marks all over the blade. Or possibly cut down court sword. 17th-18th Century.

3rd - Very thick Spear Head. Mythical creature alludes me. I think possibly south India. In hand it is very nice quality. 17th-18th Century

4th - I have no clue age on this one. Stiletto pole arm possibly. Reconstructed bayonet? Very thick Triangular blade with a very sharp tip with deep fullers.

5th - Stiletto with faux ivory handle. Marked sterling. Possibly a letter opener. Not sharp but still possibly a boot dagger.

Enjoy amd have fun all opinions are welcome.

Here is the link. Please let me know if you have any questions.
