Default Another Wedung

As these don't show up very often, I thought I'd pop it out for show and tell
Also, as you can see by the comparison with my other example, this seems to be an interesting slightly different form.

Notice the differences in the decoration, one more elaborate blade, the other more elaborate spine 'ornament'.
As always, comments and in depth analysis always welcome

What is the significance of using brass or silver on the blade?

Hi Gene,

very nice one, personally I like this one more. And it seems to be more old as the other one.

Regards,

Detlef
