as you say (and i fully agree) the sword i show may not be a kora-form. but, either way, it conforms to the basic elements inherant in a 18th/19thC piece. in looking for an earlier example (especially when going back 1000 years) we have to allow for severe style changes. so, all we can do is find these base elements and speculate.
