There's no need to feel attacked. I trust my friend, who's been dealing with ethnographic blades for ages. And no, I didn't hold the piece in my own hands, but as I said...

You've read here a lot of comments which coming from versed collectors, your most interesting sword is an oddball, you will know it, it's not a textbook example and only the maker and first owner could say exactly where it was made once, all people here can make only educated guesses, sorry.
