Your work is appreciated.

Very nice page and all, but what does it say on the pipe then? I guess i missed that part where you actually tell the reader what it says?
 
If you mean barrel ("pipe"?), I have only offered the pieces dedication (in part) to Odin. I have supplied the mechanics necessary for deciphering the black letter minuscule script.

I didn't have the inclination to continue. Why should I hog all of the fun. I believe in sharing the aspect of discovery. Be my guest.

I am now immersed in the final chapter of another 500 year old object. The project which happens to be wholly Swedish in nature, was begun by me 6 years ago.

I will be thrilled to read the continuation of the Morko translation, should you or anyone else take the years necessary to do so.

I found the Morko project be more rewarding than watching TV; one of which, I do not own.

I though I should explain the meaning and translate the title for those who are passing it up. "Lod" is lead
 
Luzur,
It has been 2 weeks. Have you added to it yet? I'm anxious to read your translation of "the pipe". I am now in the middle of a project, i.e. building a 17th c. Swedish cannon. I hope to have it finished by our Thanksgiving Day. Then if you are still stuck, I may be able to turn my attention to helping you. Until then, keep plugging away. What you have before you, only took me three (3) years to do.

Indeed! He makes a scale cannon replica that is a museum quality work of art...
 
Yes Sir. And I was showing off the Morkos you've made and envisioning one of your scale art'y tubes.

; )
 
Very cool project. Oh, I had heard about the extinct bulls before. I saw a show about them. It was called " Hitler's jurassic Monsters". They attempted to bring the beast back in Poland.

Thank you "Dyemaker" for your contribution. It was news to me. I brought-up You-Tube on my computer, where there is a wealth of documentaries and old shows that people have taped. I entered That shows title and it is offered. That will give be something intelligent to view tonight. I don't have TV.

What already comes to mind, courtesy of my wife, is the impossibility for the Nazis to correctly breed back. They would have needed DNA which was not a science during their era but the Polish scientists now have it available.

I am looking forward to viewing the show. Thank you very much for posting.

Huh? I had no idea i had homework :p

And no, since its not a flintlock it is kinda interesting piece of history but not interesting enough for me, but still a complete translation of the text around the barrel(sorry, i type swedish sometimes but: Pipe/barrel = Pipa in swedish)would be nice since even as a Swede im not well rehearsed in old Norse.
 
Gary said the image looks like something that he sent to another customer. I believe you wrote telling me that you couldn't tell me where the image came from. That puzzled both Gary and myself.
