Hello,
Below I am posting two Konda swords - just for pleasure. Both have nicely forged, profiled blade. The ceremonial sword is light and relatively thin, but still nicely hammered out. The fighting one is very heavy version, thickness of the blade is 7 mm at the base. My age guess is 75 - 100 years for both.
