Pirate still-leben

[JEEP]

Sorry if this is too OT.

I just wanted to share a shot I took of some of my antiques:

Everything in this pic dates to the late 16c. to the late 19c.

Wow! Impressive collection! :eusa_clap

What's the story with that skull? Same with those journals/books? Content information please.

Some 18 and 19c glasses + a late 16/early 17c one. A 16/17c signet pewter spoon. Some 18 and 19c powder horns. Early 19c pocket pistols. Austrian M1861 sabre. A french "apache" knife. Religious books from the 17, 18 and 19c. A mid 19c african stone skull.

The skull was "rescued" from a larper (I am one myself) who wanted to use it as a prop at a pirate-larp. He found it at an antique store - quite a find.

The pic looks better in sepia:

What is a "larper"?

 

[JEEP]

A larper is a live-action role-player.

Can't get "Pirate Jenny"/"Seerauber Jenny" by Kurt Weill out of my mind ...
