A very nice sword, heavy blade made of folded steel, not wootz. the hilt is leather wraped wood, unfortunately the wood is broken at 2 places, 1 where it curves by the pommel area and 2nd by the hand gaurd. There is serious oxidation on the area that were not covered by the scabard. However the oxidation has stoped. There are no marks on the blade, just a nice straight and uniform blade.
