That's sweet.
Prior to reading the description, I thought the pommel was wood. That patina threw me off. I see what you mean by having a 3-D type twist. Is the blade smooth or does it have a topographical surface? The blade is on slender side at 1.25". At what age would you place on this sword? Congrats on another fine sword. BTW-the clamp looks great. |

Kino,
The edges are smooth, but the twist core is topographical...that's what I meant by 3-D effect. I think it is certainly early 19th century, perhaps earlier. Yes, Jose did a tremendous job with the baca-baca. Thanks for your input. |
