Hi Ben, if you allude at the concavity of the blade, well it's clearly present... but if you mean something else, tomorrow I will take a look...

Ben, looking at the sword in the position you suggest me, I notice that the blade is not straight, but it's a bit bend toward the right. This bend starts circa at the middle, 3/4 of the length of the blade. See the picture
Thank you Michael Really I don't understand very well if all the pommel is a face but there are many small faces on it
