I followed this one too, very nice....not so certain that the 're-inforcing plates are that 'new' ..possibly 'over cleaned'...there seems to be scratches consistant with a 'clean' with coarse-ish grit paper.
The discs are described as 'bells' which contain steel balls ....anyone know the reason. My Khanda has several steel balls contained within the hilt which 'rattle' ....but I would not describe them as 'musical'.
Has anyone any idea about the design of the scabbard ?
Nice sword Bill
