Hi there Kai,

Yes! that's the first thing I noticed when I first got it, the deep etch and there were also deep honing marks on the mid portion of the blade. It was also rust infested all over, I had to bath 'em lemon juice and used a super fine sanding paper everynight for a week just to remove the scrach marks
and thickened rust. The asang-asang was also missing, and there was atleast a 2-3mm gap between the gangya and the blade. I did a few strokes of filing just to evens it out but, I had to stop, I do gun smithing not blade restoration, I'm afraid I might cause more damage to it. I also used a polishing paste to polish the edge of the blade, for a little enhancement.

Dimensions, yes! I'm in no. cal. right now and I'm flying home tonite for Thanksgiving, I'll post it as soon as I get home.

Battara!
Thanks for the feeback on the sword!

Happy holidays guys!
