cast lady bamboo cane sword

Very pretty. I believe you will find lead is too soft to hold up in such a role. the handle is most likely a lead/tin alloy variously known as 'white metal', 'casting alloy' or 'muck metal'.

Please post a full length pic of the blade. Also a close up if possible.

I also have a bamboo sword cane (Japanese blade) which was redone with a stag hilt. Just interested.
