Just another one that came in the post yesterday.
Photos aren't all that great, wife took the good camera out for the day and I was stuck using my mobile phone.
The blade on this one is a rather poor local one. Not a particularly convincing combat weapon, but the hilt is very nice. The grip is unusually a wood core and the pommel is exceptionally large.
Typical rustic imitations of the half moon marks and narrow little decorative fullers. There's a bit of flex to the blade, but it seems to be a local iron product and is not very sharp.
