I've asked for its bodycount. I wouldn't bid on anything less than a sixer. Posted Image

It really should be called "Conan the Conkerer".

Nevertheless, this is easily the most awesome thing I've seen on ebay for a long long time.

That's rich ! I have to sadly admit you brits have us yanks here in the colonies beat when it comes to 'conkers' . The horse-chestnuts here in the states (usually called buck-eyes) are usually like golf-balls or smaller . Size difference notwithstanding , it's probably just as well , - we don't usually play with our conkers out in public here !!!

I think that in Cimmeria, the "conkers" were much larger, and the target was the other boy's head. Good clean fun.
