I looked at it today on a better screen: you might be right about the wolf

However, I am wondering what made you question the rest of the sword? Looks perfectly fine to me. Please explain.

the grips do not look correct or the rivets. also with the active rust especially inside the crossguard would not be suprised if the whole hilt was new then dipped in acid and let air dry. Anything coming over the internet from georgia is pretty questionable in the 1st place.
