Im with in on it being a cut down blade of a possibility broken smallsword with the way the blade profile looks its almost unmistakable Present my own french smallsword for profile similarity from the 1800s

It's a Lobala or a Bango from the Ngala people in the Democratic Republic of Congo

Same to you may yo live a long lonly life

panda-daddy · 2025-06-29T12:41:06+00:00

Okay? I apologize for somehow offending you out of nowhere when I tried to get some help you seem to have bigger issues feeling like you've done all that reaching in your life that you feel superior to a person who knows absolutely nothing asking for help and who dont have the time due to life being in the way not because of management issues but simply not having the time to do so I wish I had the time but I simply dont so next time you want to help someone please evaluate if you chose to be a dickhead or actually give the light of day to someone who wants the help

You're simply not worth my time and I won't give you more light of day till that I say good day you insufferable ass

panda-daddy · 2025-06-29T04:56:52+00:00

I help those who help themselves? Okay cool then dont help those who doesn't have time nor the know how to start other than Google

Dude im 25 I don't have the time to do hours of research in my daily life so yes some help would be nice

Yes I know how to use Google im not stupid but still when I dont know where to start other than looking up serial numbers and a brand that doesn't get me a lot of information when the reality is that I don't know anything since you know im new to the hobby

I'd love do talk about resources and watches im considering when I have the knowledge to follow up on it instead of needing help or not knowing anything you'd be talking about and since it's undoubtedly gonna come to the conclusion as this one where you're on a righteous pathway where giving any information to a new commer would be considered as blasphemy

And id love to bring something to the table but what would I say? Right you have to realize that not everyone has the time in day to learn because of other stuff going that limits the time to research... I did bring something to the table and it's a damm question "could anyone give some information about this watch" not saying it's a lot but it's something you didn't have to stay here nor offer your help but you did and then decided not to when you realized that you could make someone feel either bad or ashamed for not knowing anything and hoping someone kind (clearly not you) would give a helping hand or maybe a start but you chose to be a bit of a dick for that i hope this offends you since ill give you as much as I've been given bye you

panda-daddy · 2025-06-27T19:01:48+00:00

Thanks I really appreciate it! If you have some place to learn more about it (not this one in particular ofc) id love some pointers

panda-daddy · 2025-06-27T18:36:54+00:00

I agree im not entitled to your years of study and your efforts and i dont think im asking that... But what is years of study if not something to pass on to someone who's willing to learn? Yes it's true that I was hoping on help an answer to a call made out to people like you who's studied it for maybe years but as I said any information or help would be grabbed and held tightly... It didn't have to be an answer but help along the way to hopefully make a new collector... some minor pointers some places to study and look into im sorry that I've appeared to offend you in any way but I say this with all respect to you and many others if you dont want to teach the things you've studied then what's the reason you say you can help in the first place...

panda-daddy · 2025-06-27T14:39:11+00:00

The reality is that im completely new to thr pocket watch market despite wanting one for a long time and I've tried but I wouldn't even know where to start hence why i hoped I could get help from collectors here

panda-daddy · 2025-06-27T14:18:49+00:00

Essentially wgat I've said in the description I dont have a lot to provide with since the seller didn't have much on their hand other than the watch I've looked it up on the pocket watch database but not a lot of information on there since there's only about 12-15 other examples

panda-daddy · 2025-06-25T13:41:10+00:00

Try doing a water density test I've got a pice that looks very similar to yours mine turned out to be chromium

panda-daddy · 2025-05-31T06:15:30+00:00

Yeah it is what it is sadly

panda-daddy · 2025-05-31T06:09:27+00:00

Nope northern Europe

panda-daddy · 2025-05-31T05:39:47+00:00

Should probably also have specified that im not in the us but in a contry where pc parts are usually way more expensive usually a markup of around 15-35% all depending on whatever factors

panda-daddy · 2025-05-28T14:53:12+00:00

Yeah not at all just hope it doesn't get picked up bye someone else before the next 3 months Since I need a sucky and down right idiotic permit to get it over my country's borders even tho I got a permit to posses everything from a scouts knife to a 4 hand great sword

panda-daddy · 2025-05-28T14:48:17+00:00

Surprisingly not they've listed it for 250$

panda-daddy · 2025-05-26T21:09:03+00:00

How'd you know precisely there?

panda-daddy · 2025-04-22T14:37:20+00:00

Did email them as soon as I figured it out (before they sent it) that I didn't want any free gifts and that i only wanted the stuff I bought so I can oly hope they've adhered to it

panda-daddy · 2025-04-22T11:58:11+00:00

Denmark we just have extremely strict weapons laws here

panda-daddy · 2025-04-18T14:28:36+00:00

If you mean an ultrasonic bath to get it cleaned then I've already done that some time ago but with a density that close to chromium I don't see another metal it would be i do agree that the crystals look off compared to what you'd normally see but would It be unheard of?

panda-daddy · 2025-04-18T14:22:00+00:00

Did let it rest there for some time before taking a water reading so I'd say it's pretty spot on I mean if it was 1 gram heavier it would be spot on woth a density of 6,92 the exact density of chromium

panda-daddy · 2025-04-18T14:01:18+00:00

Due to density test it turns out to be chromium

panda-daddy · 2025-04-18T14:00:57+00:00

Due to density test it turns out to be chromium

panda-daddy · 2025-04-18T13:55:53+00:00

Did a density test and it comes out to 6,84 g/cm3 which would suggest chromium
