Cheers all
Well I have migrated over from SF, mainly because this sword, causing all the trouble, is mine.
To answer a few of your queries. Blade does have a very slight downward tilt and while 5cm at the hilt, is closer to 6cm at the point that it becomes double edged.
Hilt is very solid but hollow brass. One piece with no cast mold lines visable. You will also notice that there is a copper section set in the hole, through the back of the grip.
I'll attach another photo of the handle from underneath. Notice a hole, which appears to have been intentional, not general wear. Not visable, but there is another in the main grip. obscured here by the hand guard.
I'll try and get more photos online, as requested.
Good luck
Andy
