Kaskara's worth more in pieces ???
Oh dear......well very dear
 , someone unfortunately 'bought' the story....a Kaskara cross guard sold as 'crusader'  Perhaps the blade will 'materialise' soon......possibly, it will be 're-excavated' from the ground ...where its been nicely gaining a very rusty patina.....  http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...MEWA:IT&ih=012 Regards David Last edited by katana; 1st February 2009 at 01:55 PM. |

Stephen could have used that cross guard for his blade?  http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=8269 Lew |

What can you say!
'Good' old Major Tom! Strange how the auctions of his we discuss are always private? I agree the blade will show up soon 'sleepy and 100% original'? |

...yes, Stephen almost bid on this for his blade - too good to be true...before it went so high... I contacted the seller re. its being a kaskara guard and was told that it was sold as listed at a UK arms fair last year... |

...and I was so convinced no-one would fall for the medieval story that I was already planning how to rehilt...
 Actually although I'm sure it's from a kaskara it is rather flat...but yes, it would have done nicely |
