Would you show closeups of the ferrule? So far it looks copper but closeups would help.

Looks a bit too tarnished for suassa.

I think we all agree on the copper. Honestly, I was not really concerned much about whether it was suasa or not, but much more concerned about the age of the entire item. It looked old to me, but I have been fooled before by weapons from the region, si I will be grateful for any feedback on this matter.

I am glad you like the blade, Sajen and Battara. Thank you all for your comments.
