And now there are 3 ....
beautiful sword indeed and how it should be, I like how time affected the iron leaving its signature, Im an original !
The one quillion is it basket hilt family, like schiavonas that are in fact a type of basket hilt they have but one quillion either, and in some rare variation two Casey ;-)

kind regards
