Very nice work! Little more curved than antique ones, but well carved. Antique ones were made of a light wood.

Not sure if this will cause any trouble but the 30" was copied from Herbert Krieger's book "Weapons and Armor PI", and the smaller one copied from a 19th c. moro taming. sorry, it's currently being sold
