AzurePark:

You mention other photos that you have of this sword. I would be interested to see what you have of the multisection hilt. In my experience these hilts were usually made in two or three parts, but I cannot make out how many are actually present here. The decoration of the hilt with geometric designs would also be of interest, with more close up pictures. Lastly, if you could post pictures of the blade, particularly the edge to see if it is hardened, and of any distinguishing marks on the blade (although I'm not expecting there will be any to be found).

Regards,

Ian
