Title: Swivle Post by: stevem45 on November 15, 2014, 08:25:39 AM Anyone have any idea what the first item is and can anyone id the swivel ... Thanks
I can put more pics up if needed the first item don't look that crude until you zoom in and then it looks as if it is done freehand. Title: Re: Swivle Post by: Chef Geoff on November 15, 2014, 10:37:08 AM The swivel is a difficult one to date as they have been used virtually unchanged from Roman through every era since to the modern day ???
The crescent item looks interesting but we could do with some idea of size and a pic of the reverse if pos ;) Title: Re: Swivle Post by: stevem45 on November 15, 2014, 10:48:11 AM Sorry should have posted with something to size items from.

Its something that has been driving me nuts lol It is so well made and at the same time crude I think that is what I like about it. The swivel is a big one the closest I came to it was a lot smaller. Title: Re: Swivle Post by: Dryland on November 15, 2014, 05:39:51 PM Great find Steve,
Title: Re: Swivle Post by: Val Beechey on November 15, 2014, 09:26:54 PM The swivel thingy could be harness related. It's very similar to some I've got and I'm pretty sure they haven't changed much over time.

Strange thing is I should have seen that as I think I have one the same as the pic somewhere ??? |
