Indian SLOs - Right?

Right on. They're not old, and they're not traditional enough to really be reproductions, so unless you want to preserve an archaeological record of mid to late 20th century decorator swords, I say go for it. If nothing else, experience gained working on "junk" swords can be viewed as training for either making swords or repairing antiques. Also, of course, you end up with a toy/training tool, and in the case of the thicker ones, you can even sharpen it into a half decent weapon with a lot of work. They may still be junk swords when you're done, but you can probably make them into much better junk swords than they are now.
