Hi Detlef & Ccual, thank you for your comments and photos which have made me think you are correct in your opinions that the blade was meant to have a clipped point and was not clipped to remove flaws as suggested by Ian which is a very valid suggestion but the photos swung it for me. Whatever I like it, I think barons have a very pleasing shape and must be a formidable weapon as well as a useful working tool. Thank you again.
Miguel
