well I think the photos show the evidence for methods of manufacture(file marks on blade and handle..), the age, and wear/damage and the patina, also the photos can help with figuring out the sigil and imagery on the guard.
everyone is entitled to an opinion, I know the odds are not in my favor but given the evidence I see I will hold out and keep researching.
do you have any evidence to support you feelings on the piece?
would be helpful...
sorry if you want me to post less photos,,,... I thought people would appreciate more photos...I always wish people would post more photos
tell me if u think I don't need so many photos in the future
"I don't think that, uploading a pile of (25) pictures of this item, will help rejecting the idea that this is a crude decorative article or a utensil like a letter opener. A modern one, by the way."---I think you used a double negative, not Shure if I need to disagree with you lol
more photos are to help prove its old, less photos of low quality would deceive
more photos to help prove its old or not either way...
please elaborate if you can why modern in your view...
Its definitely has got some peculiar art on the guard that has been calling out to me, and I think its finally spoken to me, and given me a connection worth looking at.
maybe just coincidence the similarity.... maybe not?
