i know what you mean , the sword is welded/forged, its not poor made however , and there are some markings on the blade(grooves from shaping/sharpening) and some small dents that look like from another sword, i can see JUST BARLEY how they tempered on the spine by slight indentations, and it had a good bit of rust that i cleaned off like a fool , and by the color of stain i think it could be blood too , not sure though...,also i thought it could be silver, but that was a big could be .. i have alot of silver and it seems closest to silver, it isnt alumin , and it isnt pewter.. and from the looks of where it came from i dont really know what metal they have access to. IVE TRYED LOOKING ON EBAY! i couldnt find ANYTHING.
oh and for the pic below , you can see the grooves if you look hard, sorry i couldnt get some better pics of it on here, good news is next week im going hunting for more swords, ill try and pic up a better digi cam
