I'm very curious to find out what this item is. My grandpa got it from a friend who used to travel the world. My mother says its older than her shes 51. She says she remembers it being on a shelf when she was a little kid. I'm just wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction to figure out more about this item. I wish I could be more useful with information but im not really sure what to post, im not even sure what country this weapon is from so if anyone has any idea I would be very happy thank you.
Can you post better images, it's hard to see the detail.
