Salaams All, The sword looks real...but I am not sure about the so called sword on sword strike marks... Can anyone show another similar sword with sword on sword strikes? This weapon came from a deep pool... In the old days great swords were thrown in deep pools ...we know that... so assuming we are looking at about 1000 year old strike marks is this what they look like...? Frankly I would hesitate before plunging into those waters...

Regards,
