			Nice swords! I would say that these are a common decoration foun on these swords. I really do like the matching cracks on the hilts  
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	  Funny I two Sikin swords with identical cracks in the hilt I have yet to see one that doesn't have one.    Lew  |

			Slowly the collection extends, but the variation in these spine decorations comes close to zero.  
		
		
		
			   I still do like them a lot  ![]() The last addition has a suasa collar and horn hilt: hulu cangge gliwang.  |
