When you have it, I'll be interested to hear where the point of balance is and how it feels in hand!

Hi Detlef

It seems to my inexpert eye to be more solid and functional than many.

The Hilt and metal guard/collar have a lovely even patina. Do you assume that the knuckle bow is bronze like the collar? A little buff with a soft cloth should give them a soft sheen which will be perfect.

Hi Gene,

the solid appearance was the reason that I buy it. Hope as well that the guard is from brass. I normally don't like to polish brass but i think that this one will look better with the brass polished special because the brass look so dull.

NICE ONE indeed. So neat overall and great condition! Strange actually these 'animalheads' look so much like rhinoceros! Anyone knows what they should depict??; Dragon/naga??
Congrats with this nice Tenegre!

Thank you Wouter,

I only know from here that it is called deity head but I would like to know as well which deity this will be.
