hi all...,
thank you josh and jim for your comment. i was also searching in the web, then it is very intresting to find some more informations over "my" swords. i would like understand as much as possible from their history. i found also in the sfi an long thread over these things. some posts in these thread was also from you, josh.
i think like you jim, we can´t say that in the asian culture the reason of decoration from the blades with filled dots as usual is the same. asian is an grat culture with many different cultures and different histories. the background from the seven stars in chinese blades is different to the filled dots in the mandau swords ore also to the indian swords. i know there was many intresting storys at the market but nothing is sure. i think it is possible that the quality is testified with with marking. i missed the opinion from indian specialist( collectors) in this forum. im sure in india lived some peoples who know much over swords, theire making, and also from theire history.
