'Kay; I took a good look at the 3 blader. Definitely an arc/torch welded tip. Also, does it seem peculiar to anyone that the decoration looks Chinese; I hate to give advice to fakers other than to become honest cutlers......I got my Chinese mace; keep in mind I expected a repro. It's pretty decently solid, though the shaft may be cast (I can't decide) and the brass is fairly nice, but the eradication of the modern welds is likewise considerably less than total. It's a fun repro for my pleasure though; it's shaped like a hand; the ultimate b-slap! A real fun fire poker.....
