At least I presume it's modern, the seller had several nearly identical ones. It came with a pair of tweezers. The fullers apeear to be ground in rather than forged. The wood in the hilt is rough hewn and the bolster and pommel are crudely cast, but overall it's very sturdy and stout. It feels made for work.

Crude but effective, seemingly.
Looks like the hilt was ground out of a chunk of aluminum? |

You can see a seam along the side of the hilt/pommel so I believe it was cast but it does look like someone took a file to it.
You can't see it from the picture but the tang is bent over the pommel. Not pretty but it keeps the whole thing together. Last edited by blue lander; 23rd May 2016 at 07:44 PM. |
