Possibly the most bizarre fake weapon that I have ever seen.....on that well known internet auction site.....(can't link- forum rules)

Possibly about as much use as a chocolate pugio?

...Or in the kit bag of any bearded warrior who wants to look his best for the big fight, eh?

I think it's the kind of comb a woman would wear in her hair to be honest, rather than a 'comb your hair' kind of comb.....those spikes make it a little impracticle for the latter useage. You know? Hair in a tiight bun, the comb stuck in and pinned in place, the spikes giving her that fearsome but irrisistable quality only a female warrior can have..... :roll: :wink: :oops:
