A Senefelder - you are right. There had to be originally a plate in the slots of the loop hilt. I am curious of the original looks, but in fact I don`t miss it very much since I won`t have to fight with it. I think it looks OK as it is.
At the moment I am wondering why does it have a thumb ring?
Do you think that such a narrow and relatively thin, but quite stiff blade was capable of strong slashes?
There are some grounded remains of nicks from some past action so can I think that it required cut and thrust style of fencing?
It`s double bladed, 36 inches long (91,5cm) - blade is 30,5 inches (77cm).
The weight is 1lb 6oz (620g).
Thank you very much.
