the scabbard is not original of course
the grip has had a couple of worm holes repaired by injection of a matching color resin
the blade appears to have been 'cleaned' with a grinder by some caring
previous owner, but there appears to be some signs that the blade is laminated
from a number of parallel rods forged together. i have not touched the blade
other than to remove all active rust and to oil it. no markings survived the
'cleaning' with the grinder, durn it.
