Here is one I would like to share with you:
At first view, this appeared to be a classic Imperial artillery lion head sword.
But when I got closer, I got hypnotized by the lion's eyes...
First sword that I found with a doll's eyes lion head like this!
Any others out there?
Best regards,
Herman

Wow, those look much nicer than the red or green eyes.
Gives that Lion a real Lion look. Are they set deep in the eye socket, as they look, or is there a clear outer eye that sits flush with the face??

Vern & Ed,
Thanks for your kind words!
The eyes have a transparent outer part and a dark core.
Hope this pic shows it better.
The sword was made by Friedrich A. Herder.
Best regards,
Herman
