So I got the kaskara. Not a Clauberg, now I have no clue what it is!
First the dimensions.
Overall: 94cm
Blade: 81.5cm
Max blade width: 3.6cm
This seems close to the Clauberg you have Chris, but... I don't have the standing knight or letters. Under the guard on both sides I've got a strange, but very well executed wasp! Took the best photos of it I could. Blade seems pretty well made, good flexibility. Certainly some shoulders back towards the base and nicely sharpened.
It's a little smaller than some of the other kaskara I've had pass through my hand and the unknown stamp makes me wonder if the blade is native. However the mark is executed pretty darn well.
All thoughts comments appreciated.
Iain
