Just wondered why the chunk of blade missing in the first images posted wasn't missing in the second set of images posted. Look carefully and make up your own mind.

As if the blade underwent a rough cleaning session and the previous dent/s has/have augmented to a larger portion; maybe even with the owner's help.
Would this be a plausible inference Raf ?

good day ,
I got the sword in the same form as in the last photos on a red background,
the previous owner simply repaired the large potholes with a "cold weld" trowel. I do not like such restoration, I like to perceive the object as it is, I removed all the finishing touches; potholes do not spoil it in my opinion.
with respect

cross posts ... and some close explanation.

for example, the reverse side is where this cold welding is

Thank you for your explanation.

What a terrible wound.
