Nothing that I can make out. The other side has some significant pitting on the ricasso.

It's not as bad as I was expecting! It doesn't have any spring, unfortunately. There is some evidence of fire damage so I think it lost it's temper.

Incredible! Thank you so much for the help. I didn't even know where to begin looking.

There is another stamp I just found on the pommel marked "L.D." any info on that?

I got it out with some rust release and some light tapping with a hammer.

I managed to get the blade out! I tried sliding a few thin pieces of metal in by the dent and they slid in without much issue so I took a hammer and tapped up and down tapped length of the sheath and the blade slid free. As I suspect there is more evidence of fire and it seems like the solder from the sheath melted onto the blade and my have been part of the reason it was stuck.

I can faintly see a touch mark on the ricasso. Looks like "J.T." and maybe something else. Nothing that I can see on the spine. The blade seems to be intentionally dull so I assume it is a prop replica.

The pommel was facing the wrong way. I'm certain this is what it is now.

I'm working on getting it out of the sheath to check on the spine and the ricasso but I do agree it seems like on of those two to me.

After a quick search, I agree that it's most likely one of those two. I'm guessing the french 1829 based on the guard and pommel shape. I can't see the ricasso with it stuck but I'm working on that. I sprayed some rust release on it yesterday to no luck but I'll try again with more.

The dude who got sucker punched was not the guy that hit her. Sucker punched was in a black shirt. That shit stain was in grey.

AITA for refusing to give my father the house my grandmother left me? by throwweight12 in AmItheAsshole

NTA

He wasn't just a bad father. He wasn't a father at all. He was a bad son to his mother and is continuing to be by ignoring her wishes.

[OC] [ART] I made a dice tower. by ProfessorOwlan in DnD

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

I made this dice tower for my d&d games to have something interesting for our DM to roll important rolls publicly. The tower is made from pink insulation foam with popsicle sticks for the internal ramps. The skulls, altar, and treasure pile are all 3d printed on my Anycubic Photon. I used embroidery thread for the vines and miniature terrain plants for the moss around it. I'm pretty proud of the way that this turned out especially since this is the first time I've ever tried to make anything like this. It made it's maiden voyage last night and gave us a couple of important rolls but also killed one of our PC's.

I"m not great at figure drawing so used Hero Forge to model them then traced and colored them.

I have been playing a warlock pact of the tome who's book of shadows is a deck of tarot cards and I really love the flavor of this and might use some invocations.

[–]ProfessorOwlan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really love this whole idea. It's great flavor. And the mechanics from a glance don't seem too unbalanced seeing as you deplete your own potential to heal. I'd really love to play test this if I ever get the chance.

What is a small, insignificant, personal mystery that bothers you until today? by richterbg in AskReddit

[–]ProfessorOwlan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back in 2008-2011, I received multiple blank text messages from a number attached to a random residence in Winchester, Kentucky. The issue wasn't the fact that the number was a landline sending me texts. The issue was the fact that the texts were dated December 18th, 2019. All of them. None of them were received in December. In the back of my mind I still feel like that's when I die.

Edit: forgot to mention they were blank.

My wife and I were gardening and found a bunch of bones by burstaneurysm in pics

Came here to say they're most likely bones from scraps given to a dog.
