ah, well. it arrived. appears to be a modern wall hanger reproduction. the grip pommel and bolster thingy are spot welded on, grind marks are fresh as if yesterday. shaft is bright steel, hed is welded onto it & bevel is fairly well polished at the join, more so than the grip, which is wound with a faux leather strip. head looks like it was cast from an original tho lacking some detail.

on the bright side it came with a velvet covered scabbard. i think the innards are cardboard.

win some, lose some...
