  1. I dont think you need any special instructions for that kind of knife. Maybe just put on the customs form "Tool" just incase. Just ship it whatever way is cheapest (as long as its not surface mail as that always seems to go missing).

  2. The shield on it looks very much like the one on this old 17th century Dutch Cannon (the N B could stand for Nederlands bronzen):

    A very scarce 17th century Dutch 2 pounder antique Breech-Loading Swivel Cannon, with Amsterdam Townmark. (Later powder-chamber).

    On the barrel is incised the weight from 162 Old Amsterdam Pounds (80 kilo).The caliber is 6.5 cm and the length 92 cm. On the base a circulair hole for a tiller. Een 17e eeuws Nederlands bronzen achterlaadkanon mer stadskeur van Amsterdam

  3. Well one person whose gifts arrived very much on time (actually back in November) was POD. As with all of his work I got some really awesome stuff most notably a cast pipe tamp and some tobacco papers ( I was secretly considering ordering these) All I can say Mr. Morrisroe is thank you very much. Yours was the first under our tree and I was able to restrain myself until yesterday to open it. Thanks again!

    Yours & co

    Mr. Ohlandt

    You are very welcome Mr. Ohlandt

    Not recieved my package yet but our postal service is always screwed up around xmas so didnt realy expect it until sometime in January.

  4. Replica 1721 Engish map titled "A New Map of the English Empire in the Ocean of America or West Indies". IT shows the main English settlements in the Caribbean at the time which were Jamaica, Bermuda, Barbados, Bridgetown, Tobago, Antigua and St. Christophers Island. It also shows a detailed map of Port Royal Harbour
