Blast from the past: An Oakeschott Sword
There are a couple of threads about some of my objects that are pretty old (ca. 2000) yet have, I think some interest still.
This was my original post Quote:

So what if it's a composite..? When blades were kept in the family, they often underwent repair and upgrades. The part of the sword that most suffers is the hilt, being in contact with salty sweat. They don't last forever.
The fact that it has been repaired or serviced leads more credence to the genuineness of a weapon, compared to one that shows very little wear. Regards M |
