Reaping was still done with flint sickles in parts of scotland in the
start of the 30C.

Pardon? I can't even hazard a guess on that one.

let me rephrase ....

start of the 20C ...

the convention would be C20th ... or even C30th ... but at least we'd have
understood.

I'd like to know more about flint sickles.

They have "teeth" made of dressed flakes of flint set in a wooden handle
(originally a jawbone IIRC) In some parts of the world, they still use
obsidian (black volcanic glass) for very similar reasons.
