P.S. Did you try to apply the new "dressed to kill" theory ? I mean, you should not have any problems "to sundry unsolved problems in weapons research" with it.
Thanks for some degree of relief!...
As to the new theory....No, I did not, but some of my patients applied it generously and liberally and told me that "Preparation H" was better.

Default On a more serious note ...

The blade of this sword reminds me a lot of the 1796 British Light Cavalry Sabre, or one of its many imitations. The last few inches have obviously been reworked and shortened.
