close up views made me think the decorations are not hand chiselling but easier acid-wax process, only interior human and other details being hand carved.any opinions?
here are the pictures of my 5 fingers. hilt,scabbard and the blade real hand chiselled both sides. gold on hilt and scabbard, and gold koftgari on both sides of the blade. tips are strong and nice but still edges are not sharp.
