Wow nice find. Worth it’s weight in copper many times over back in the day. I would love to know if some Brit crossed and gave it go in France, or a French trader brought it back over.

That would be an interesting challenge for the “Forged In Fire” crew to re-create.

It looks much shorter than a modern version.
