AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The item offered was purchased at a prehistoric fair in Evreux in 2003.
See the second photo.
A very rare piece.
Especially because the kling has a notch (notch).
This was used, among other things, to smooth the arrows for hunting and to remove the bark.
Weight: 520 grams, dimensions: height 22 cm x 8 cm x 6 cm
The handle is beautifully patinated in a dark black finish.
I am selling my collection due to my advanced age of 81 years.
Purchased at an auction in Evreux, France in 2003
Will be well packaged and shipped with tracking.
