Noted, Fernando, this seemingly disputes my theory.
I also note that we have run out of input on this subject.
It seems odd that the means to become the biggest and best supplier of swords to the world remains secret.
Perhaps it is/was attention to detail in the forging processes - attention to detail has always been something the Germans have excelled-at - but that does not explain why we had to wait for Gill in Birmingham before we could rival their quality. It also begs the question: who showed Gill how to do it right?
