I got this curious specimen.

The blade has imitation marks of ANDREA FERARA, wolf of Passau, Genoese "gourdes" and probably a trade mark of a European supplier (shop).

Imitation marks of famous marks are also often found on takuba blades. But here the local blacksmith generously put everything he knew and saw into this blade.

Total length 945 mm, blade length 795 mm, width at guard 34 mm, thickness of the butt at guard 6 mm, weight 824 g.

I will be grateful for any thoughts and comments.

Best regards,
Yuri
