Hello,
The manding sword is quite beautiful, even without the French blade it seems much more refined than the croc skin kaskara. Was the tip of the blade modified? The angle seems very acute for european sabre blades. I don't mean to hijack this thread, but does this sword

also carry a French sabre blade? Are such large fullers characteristic of 18th-19th century sabres?
