JUST BOUGHT A PATA

Hi Jens and Jim
Thank you for your kind coments.
An old warrior allright. Quite a few wounds, with one being a serious perforation. The others are just scars, as it seems the gauntlet construction is double ply.
No, no marks that i can see. Neither holes for inner lining.
The blade is double edged in all its extension. Quite thin and narrow, 2,5 cms. at forte.There is a central fuller, extending to within 4,5 cms outside the fixation plates (can i call them that?). Its tempering might not be the best, it is a bit bent.
Thanks again Gentlemen.
