I always found these swords described as rare (why ?) early 20th century models and set with semi-precious stones,
sometimes the word rubies is written in the description but it's exactly the same violet color ...
Sure larger kastane swords from the 19th are real weapons and I like them,
so was I surprised when I saw that these later 20th ''presentation'' models
with same semi-precious stones, not diamonds
were sold twice ( or more ) the price of large good 19th silver mounted kastane swords
