I've only been around for about two months so far but I'd still like to join in on this if I can.

I haven't posted a whole lot here on the Pub but I do jump in on a topic when the mood strikes. Also, I don't really know anybody but that should change once I meet a whole bunch of you at PIP.

I think your dagger that says "De estos chiles pocos da la mata" is probably Spanish. I would translate "La mata da pocos de estos chiles" as meaning"The bush gives few of these chili peppers".

I'm still not sure what, if anything, it's supposed to mean.

I once had a Mexican machete inscribed with something like "Carne bueno y barato solo es por el gato". That roughly translated to "Good and cheap meat only is for the cat".

I think some guy in Mexico who inscribes these things just makes stuff up to mess with the tourists...

I just bought these online this weekend, hopefully I got a good deal on them. Sorry about the bad pictures, the auction site didn't have many good full shots, just a bunch of close ups.

I'll post more pics of them along with my other weapons when they're finally delivered later this week.

That's why you only say it in Spanish, it tastes a lot better than it sounds. A good Tex-Mex breakfast is a couple of barbacoa tacos and a bowl of ...

I was looking forward to buying a pistol or two from Callenish when I get to Key West. I'm in the market for either a doglock or maybe an early dragoon type. I'd really like to get both if the price is right and the money is available. I saved about $600 by canceling my hotel resevations and deciding on tent camping.

I guess I could always buy one and have you ship it out to me before PIP and then you can make any alteration to it when I see you there.
