Thank you, I feel because the scabbard was at one time dyed purple which you can just see on your PC, is not a very macho colour for a ruffty-tuffty european type, makes the puzzle a lot harder.The blade is not abruptly thicker than the tang but at one time before grinding it must have been.Thanks for opinions.Tim
