			I picked up this sword at a local auction this Summer.  
		
		
		
			It's quite small, has twist core and I assume it's 19th C? It also has a false edge. What do you think it is? Could it be a remodeled old twist core kris?? Do you have any reference pictures of similar swords??? Michael PS I have had BIG problems etching it and have tried both FeCl and household vinegar. Somehow I don't manage to get enough contrast. Any hints?  |
