Unknown Moro sword

Detlef,

I love the look of the sword you originally showed us in the thread. It's so practical. I am just guessing at some Chinese influence, especially with the guard.

I think there are many Moro variations and custom-made swords out there. This thread has some nice examples of just that.

I really enjoy looking at pieces that deviate from the norm!

Great catch on your part! Congrats!

Hello Charles,
Yes, I agree, the blade has a Chinese flair.

I wish it were, but I was outbid at the last moment, alas!
