The work on the scabbard reminds me of Kaskra and Shotel? If it was used like a Mambele the handle would be the right way round?

Looks to me to be 10 Iron for use when it's really rough.

That's just cool. Notice how the back of the scabbard is open. The guard fits over the mouth of the scabbard to hold the sword in.

blade is maybe shaped like a letter, calligraphy from some script? How odd...

Interesting weapon ....the sickle 'end' seems to have a central ridge....suggesting a 'diamond' cross-section. If this is the case it is double edged....so perhaps the handle is correctly placed.
I can see this being used to 'ham string' Cavalry Horses .... Regards David |
