Hi Teodor,
Thre sickles and astral configurations are present on one side of the blade only. This was originally a single edged backsword blade, modified to be double edged in these mounts. There's a well worn ricasso as well.
This one has seen a lot of use and repeat sharpening in it's life and the mounts are decently old.
