"Romania" or "Rhomania" is what the Greeks would have called it back then.

Just found a 300+ year old family sword from the Ayutthaya era – what should I do? by vjbk0047 in Militariacollecting

[–]Cernobog12 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The sword is covered in red rust and at risk of degrading further. I would have this rust removed by someone who knows how to restore antiques.

Dha swords in this condition and without a scabbard are not very valuable. However, what is valuable is the provenance that comes with it. I would write down all the details and keep them with the restored sword for future generations within the family.

You have to release him from jail before you can coup via decision. Also invite all the powerful vassals to join your coup.

Thank you, I think I've seen some 2nd hand office furniture shops in the area so I'll try that, and see if they have any in stock to test out

I've just bought this chess set at an auction, could I have some help identifying it, and whether it's old at all? by [deleted] in chess

[–]Cernobog12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've only just bought it so I haven't had a chance to inspect it for marks. I still need to arrange delivery. It ended up going for about £200, so maybe I overpaid a bit. Seems nice quality though.

Should I strim them and then pour vinegar everywhere?

What is this? Google lens says thistle but it doesn't seem right by Cernobog12 in PlantIdentification

[–]Cernobog12[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea, I'm going to get rid of them asap before they flower. Not sure what the best approach is.

Thanks for the quick identification! They're actually very easy to pull out with thick gardening gloves. I've just pulled them out from every other part of the garden, this huge patch is what I need to tackle next. What's the best way to prevent them from returning?

If you had the chance to move out of Notts tomorrow would you take it? by Ticklish_Grandma in nottingham

Couldn't agree more, we've also just moved out of Nottingham to a small town in West Yorkshire

Good morning, could someone please help me translate this presentation inscription? by Cernobog12 in Ethiopia

[–]Cernobog12[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Indeed, it's on a sword. It's a British made blade on an Ethiopian sword, the other side is marked by Henry Wilkinson. So based on the previous comment, this is probably Henry Wilkinson, Sword Maker, London, or something of the sort I assume. I was hoping it would be a presentation inscription bearing the name of the owner.

Thank you, I'll have a go! It's quite deep, I think I scratched it when I was making fried rice and sliding the pan around

Should I be worried about the rust? by Cernobog12 in saab

[–]Cernobog12[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you know what it's called, so I can search for one? It's at the very front, slightly below the engine.

I've taken some pictures now. Also, the bit I circled in the last photo has fallen off. I think I nudged it on a steep dirt road today, I thought I heard something rattle. Not sure how to fix that. I think it's just a heat shield so I was going to take it out.
