P.S. maybe I'm wrong but I remember that David (KATANA) has one with a final like this ????????? |
Sorry my friend, I do not own a similar example. Very nice piece
And as you said, the finial does seem unusual .... the question is ....what could its function be ? Perhaps it denotes rank or some other symbolism
Best of luck in your efforts to match Lew's collection, I've tried .... unsucessfully ....so far
Kind Regards David
