Default More info on the mystery sword

Hi Tom,

I have some more info about this sword :

A.) Yes...it is double edged (cuts on both sides) still quite sharp as well.

B.) The handle rivets are copper (my wife rubbed the end of one with a small file) you can see that on the photo i attach. There were 3 total rivets to hold the handle...only two now left on it..3rd is lost. also a copper rivet which is flattened to hold the protective 'bar' (exscuse the lingo.. not a sword person )

C.) The blade is about the same thickness all the way from bottom to the tip.

D.) In the holes where the rivets go i think there is something that looks like lead to me, to hold the rivets in place..i dont know about metals.... i show this on the photo. maybe someone put this there after...dont know....

E.) I also draw a rough shape of a cross section of the sword..on one side is more roundy and on the other is flatish.

Anyways, hope this is helpfull ....

Thanks.
