Fernando, it is not the same thing, but the tip has the same meaning.

It is the thrird such hilt of this construction that I have seen in the last 12 months and all appeared to have very nice age to them. All were Kards with scabbards that enveloped the hilt. I am sure I have images on file of one because I wanted to buy it for my personal collections. One scabbard was basic timber and old leather and the one I wanted was a scabbard of unusual form in that it was silver with Niello script on the reverse, I will try to find it as perhaps the script will offer a better indication of origins.

Certainly Henk,
I meant efectiveness.
This one looks (to me) more like a decorative addition .

I think Lew may have hit upon it .

If I'm seeing the blade correctly it looks as if the pattern material is laid on a steel core .

The pattern is way too random and complex to be a faked surface IMO .

Fernando,
You could be very right. As i mentioned before it isn't my field at all. I remembered seeing such tips before.
