Nice piece, I have a fine example of one too...having held both hide and steel, the steel one is much heaver though.

Neat piece! Hadn't seen a metal example before. I think the barrel idea is likely to explain the source of the raw material.

The weight does seem prohibitive, but perhaps its more of a parade item.
