				 confederate fascinemesser bizarre weld!!!!!!!!!!!! 
 
			
			Yeah "!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"  Really wierd finger joint weld right in the middle of the blade; type of joint often seen on nicer solder-construction on sheaths ferules jewelry etc.  This type of sword has been discussed without ID on the old forum.  Now we know what it is, I guess.  The same seller had an unmarked one, too, which seems more usual, from the 4 or 5 I've now seen.
