I thought it would be worthwhile just for those who may come across this thread in the future to show a few heavier bladed taks and also a comparison of pommels. :-)
This is not in any way to draw away from the subject sword of this thread, just to lend a little visual element to the descriptions I was giving before of some of the characteristics of newer/older swords of this type and the transition seen in the pommel form over time.
