Very nice pictures and information, Stephen, thank you.

The sword with the kaskara blade and wooden hilt is most interesting. You had a chance of seeing it live and perhaps handling it - did it look like something put together from various unassocuated parts, or did you feel it was a genuine item? Also, was the guard ball shaped, or was the hilt more like a mushroom?

I am intrigued, as this sword seems quite unique. The one you got is also very nice, with a great blade.

Regards,
Teodor
