>a XVIIIth c. kind of axe used by the winegrowers to prune the wineyard. It usually was forged by the winegrowers themselves and it comes in all shapes and sizes. I thought it was pretty cool.
Yeah tools like that old agricultural "bill hook" are pretty cool, I've seen sellers in the past make good money selling them on the USA eBay as "French Revolution" era peasant polearm billhook or glaive or voulge weapons, on the claim that big agricultural tools like that were certainly picked up and used by the revolutionaries. Might be a lucrative hustle for you if you can find them cheap in France and then ship internationally at a decent price. I don't know what your 50cm blade might weigh but I agree that if you can get things like it cheap then there is no risk if they sell at such low prices there, they have great resale value in the USA at least. In the USA we have similar antique tools called a "sling-blade" or "Kaiser-axe" for cutting brush that I always buy when I see them cheap, they are smaller but still look very intimidating.

>Also i wanted to ask you about pewter becuz i'm eyeing a beautiful jug, but i don't want to overpay for it, what is the max price you consider per kg?

For modern scrap pewter I try to keep it under $8/kg max, around 1/3rd of the spot price of Tin, however if you are looking at a very nice old hand-made jug then most of its value is from being an antique and I'd have to know more to give a max price I'd pay. And yeah fren I'd ship you a care package of ancient goodies, maybe also things from the USA you might not see there like fossil petrified wood, do you like fossils? Having big hoards of extra stuff doesn't do me too much good so if it helps spark interest and joy in worthy bros like you then it's a much better use for the items than just sitting around collecting dust here.

Where my rock stackers at? Added 24lb of petrified wood and a cool grooved stone Plains Indian war club to the hoard for $15 yesterday.
