Title: Charlie and a half moon! Post by: handyman [Alan} on August 19, 2017, 02:31:25 PM Had a nice morning out with diggerdave this morning. We are both puzzled as to what the silver patterned half moon object actually is. Any ideas? Otherwise, enjoy the Charles 1st sixpence!
All suggestions are welcome. Title: Re: Charlie and a half moon! Post by: Da Monkey on August 19, 2017, 02:59:24 PM Is it Silver Al ?
Looks like the rear part of a revolver like an old colt 45, the bit by the hammer to me... Title: Re: Charlie and a half moon! Post by: handyman [Alan} on August 19, 2017, 03:10:45 PM hi Andy ... thanks for the reply. Good suggestion. The object however, passed the silver test!
here's a piccy of the reverse .... i think it shows the hammer marks!! Title: Re: Charlie and a half moon! Post by: wagis on August 19, 2017, 05:03:53 PM Nice finds I've never had a Charles anything yet
Title: Re: Charlie and a half moon! Post by: dingdong on August 19, 2017, 06:11:07 PM A couple of very nice finds 👍...could the" half moon"artifact be part(one of possibly two parts)of the decoration on the handle of a knife dagger ...just a thought !!
