"Is the blade on your friend's sword etched? Mine is, but it doesn't show any marker's marks, though the work is quite nice. Long-tailed, parrot-like birds are depicted on both sides, but in different scenes. Sadly, the pommel nut is absent"
I have not personally seen the sword yet. But from the one photo it looks like a fairly heavy patina. Looks like I'll have to buy the sword to find out any etching. LOL
