This is another piece of a lot that I got from John Powell a few years ago and was photographed for his book which sadly does not look like it will be completed. $300. PM me here.

Well OK no interest at $300 so I will drop it to $250 and then it either goes back on the wall or (gasp/choke) Ebay with a reserve.

Cheers

You mentioned handforged - is it laminated?

I believe it is laminated. Today I looked at it under magnification and I can see very small circular patterns. Kind of a round with dot in the center?
