Very unusual for a weapon to have this many variants........

There's ones with forward curves, with backward swept blades, ones with sickle-like ricassos, and some with plain handles that look suspiciously Moro....

The floor is open.

Well, Joe, there really is nothing Moro about this, though you have a good point about so many variants.

Arrived today. An absolute POS! (Piece Of S***)

Asking for a refund. Totally tourist junk!

Sometimes you eat the bear, sometimes the bear eats you.

Hi Bill this happends to us all it is sometimes difficult buy from the picture
even if you get no respond to see more pics that should be a reason not buying it. ( for me a reason for don t buy it)

Better buy from someone you can return it if you don t like it .
(pay a little more and no headache)

Maybe I am just feeling a bit moody today. Had some business problems. One of my rental houses burned. No injuries. Don't mean to take it out on this seller if the piece is worth having.

And Dajak, you are absolutely right. Dealers like yourself have excellent quality and good return policies.
