Oh boy, i can't say you guys have made my day
In my dreams i always expected that swords belonging to mythic pirate captains, 'venerable' Blackbeard included, were a lot more exuberant ... sturdy guards, short but sturdy blades, you know
A 'fragile' hanger like the one shown here by 'Captain Jim' would belong to a humble cabin-boy
.
Pay no notice fellows, i am just just teasing you ... although partly i mean what i said .
