Ian.

Ian,

Thank you for posting this. It is the same sword. Did not know it was posted before.

Does anyone have additional comments?

So Bill, you started to unwrap the hilt and found the munsala underneath the sisal/jute wrap ?
Can you describe it; is there a prayer or incantation written on the cloth ?

Rick,

It is just as I bought it. I am going by what the seller told me. I don't really want to unwrap it and I am not in recent close contact with the seller.

However I am also curious. I will email him and see what he can tell us.

I do want to re-stain the blade.

From comparing the two pictures it looks like someone unwrapped the handle before you received it .
