Ron,
Here is my shotel. Have a neat scabbard also, not in pictures.
I have read that the long curved blade was for getting around an opponent's shield. Guess that would have been a surprise!
I think that the handle is rhino horn -- no wait, it is cow horn....er..Rhino? cow! gotta be rhino. have a couple of Uzo drinks and it could have come from an
authentic 1952 Studebaker Commander
Comments, please, i would like to know more about these interesting swords and the people who made and used them.
