[QUOTE="CRW, post: 325640, member: 8255"] Haven't been out swinging much lately, just managing a few short sessions and not very deep, grounds been a bit hard out here. I did however, dig an interesting little item that (frustratingly) took a me a while to identify. I was just on the verge of giving up the research when I stumbled across the answer. I wonder whether anyone else has found one before or even knows what it is?? Found at a site dating from mid to late 1800s, reads 'FRANCE ... BTE ... C.R...' (looks like some more letters underneath but can't quite make them out). A thin channel runs along the back inside edge.
