I've re-opened the thread, because quite honestly there isn't really a reason to keep it locked. No apparent policy violations in the thread (so far).

Let me just say, however, that if you would like to add to the discussion, just talk about the sword. Nothing productive will come from commenting on the similarity of this sword to another previously posted.

A INTERESTING SWORD WITH A INTERESTING STORY. THE ONLY THING I SEE THAT MAY BE WRONG IS THAT THE BLADE IS VERY POORLY MADE FOR A EUROPEAN BLADE THE FULLER IS ESPECIALLY ROUGH SO PERHAPS IT IS NATIVE MADE OR AT LEAST SEVERLY MODIFIED WITH PRIMATIVE TOOLS AT SOME TIME. ITS NICE TO SEE A COMPLETE EXAMPLE THAT HAS BEEN TAKEN CARE OF AND WITH ITS HISTORY INTACT.
