Kaskara's worth more in pieces ???

Oh dear......well very dear ;) , someone unfortunately 'bought' the story....a Kaskara cross guard sold as 'crusader' :(

Perhaps the blade will 'materialise' soon......possibly, it will be 're-excavated' from the ground ...where its been nicely gaining a very rusty patina..... :rolleyes:

Stephen could have used that cross guard for his blade? ;) :)

What can you say!
'Good' old Major Tom!
Strange how the auctions of his we discuss are always private?

I agree the blade will show up soon 'sleepy and 100% original'?

...yes, Stephen almost bid on this for his blade - too good to be true...before it went so high...

I contacted the seller re. its being a kaskara guard and was told that it was sold as listed at a UK arms fair last year...

...and I was so convinced no-one would fall for the medieval story that I was already planning how to rehilt... :shrug:
Actually although I'm sure it's from a kaskara it is rather flat...but yes, it would have done nicely
