Kaskara Fuller Styles and Some Blade Marks--a third essay for discussion

Kubur, you could well be correct. RDGAC's assessment of the tabs on sword #3 are:

Quote: "At said base are a pair of large tabs, seemingly forge-welded or similar to the flats of the blade, and presumably intended to broaden it a little and allow the cross-guard and grip a firmer attachment to the base and tang, though that's probably an erroneous presumption."

Regards,
Ed
