Spaniard

Ah ok I'm about six and a half hours north in Amposta...I lived in Nerja for a few years before moving up here.. There are at least 3 vcoin dealers in Spain that I buy from regularly 2 of which are very close to where you live....But in general if you buy within the EU you'll receive the coin within 5 days...

Ahh OK thanks Bob.I'd never heard of a dirk before. An interesting piece... Been looking at your photos in close up, what an Alladins cave... Love the little oil lamps but as you know I particularly like the " bird beak spouts" , wonderful design. What are your most recent purchases?

@DonnaML.....Super pieces... I like them all but the little oil lamp "Wow"....It's an area that I'm very interested in but haven't purchased yet....It seems that fibulii, oil lamps and arrow heads are my limit when it comes to budget...Looking forward to seeing your next post..
