cool stuff, nice that you got the scabbards,
I can see the similarities for Shure, but I do notice my blade shape is different then your examples, my handle also lacks carving, the leather sheath that came with it is evidently very old and may even be be the original, or made long ago when, if it is a reused antique blade put onto into a more modern handle. my blade does have evident age holes in holes,, the spine at the handle is 6 mm, are yours also with an edge shape "chisel grind"? ,
or were you referring to the blade being sharpened by chisel ?
thanks
