Latest kaskara for comment
Greetings all
Merry christmas and a better and hopefull year for 2021.
I've just got my second kaskara. the sword is 94,5 cm long, blade 83 cm, wide 3,8 cm, thickness at the ricasso 5,5 mm. A well made blade with 2 fullers. Inside the fullers a floral decoration, blade has some flex. On the ricasso markings on each side. On one side two markings, A lion and a cartouch, 6 gm 126, both deep and clear. On the other side two hands. The handle is cast on the sword, problaby aluminium or zinc.
The lion i've seen before, but the cartouche and the hands not.
According the seller it is a local made blade and the markings and the floral decoration resembling european blades.
Comments are verry welcome.
Marc
