Engraving question - 04/20/2008 12:03 AM
A question for Houston and anyone one else with an opinion please. These photos are from both ends of a 12 inch blade. My question is, does it appear in any way that the engraving has been alternated to accommodate the blade length (the reverse is the same)? As the hilt is clearly from a regulation size Masonic sword I�m wondering if the blade was specifically made as a short version (there is no scabbard), or if there is evidence to believe a sword was simple cut down.
Thanks. Andy
