Edster, Thanks! Do you mind showing photos of the "Rashayda" sword? my guess is that by Rashayda, you speak of the Arab tribe in Sudan, correct?
Jim and Vandoo, thanks! I dont think the hilt is cast all together in one piece, it seems that it is made of different pieces of the same alloy, I can see some welding and will get some zooms tommorow morning if possible.
Thanks everyone for the info!
