British Wootz Sword

[rand]

This is yet another example of a sword somewhat polished and etched that was never meant to be. Someone is just trying to create a sense of greater value calling it damascus steel.

Then later the buyer will come to a show, eagerly show you his pride and joy sword and you have to tell him the truth.

To me these are red flags, an indication of embellishment not original to item.

Will be interesting to see what happens if he sells a sword to the Vice Presidents personal physician.

I actually like this sword and the price is fair.

You could have bid then perhaps? if you so wished? But I must agree a reasonsable price was reached by bidders. Perhaps his other swords will do well though.

To my eye the bluing looks rather Retouched as well though unfortuantly, which is rather a value destroyer in my opinion..
