Hi all,

This sword is on offer and I would like to have your comments on it. I don't know very much on these swords and I was hoping the forum could tell me if its the real deal or a copy.
Seems oke to me but I'am not fully confident with this type.

Maybe you could also give me an indication on value??

Thanks in advance,

PJ

Hmm - i dont think i have seen one before with these type of screws. Correct me if im wrong but shouldnt these have flat/flush screws? maybe they are replacements

I don't like the gilding finish on the swaz and the blade buffer looks a little odd.

The �gilt� on the pommel swastika looks suspiciously like the somewhat orange looking colored lacquer seen on Spanish replicas that flakes off (originals are color anodized). The �maker� is one commonly seen on Spanish replicas. And the leather does not look quite right (a little hard to tell because of the dark images).

Methinks that I would quietly tiptoe away from this one and not look back. FP

Thanks for you comments.

I had already placed a bid, but decided to take back the offer.
