I agree it's not antique. Aluminium where you'd hope for silver
But some signs of age, oxidisation of brass and shrinkage of the wood slightly.
Allegedly the collection it came from stopped 'growing' some time ago, so hopefully at least vintage
These double weapons are interesting aren't they?

Hi Gene,

Are it signs of age or signs of use? ;-)

I myself like these double blades in one scabbard a lot, as a martial art practitioner... (though not as explosive and fanatical I used to be one time in my better days).

Best wishes,
Maurice

Hi Maurice,

I'd say that it's some signs of age, not use. No edge knicks.
I could be wrong though, it has happened before

I'd like to see you swinging these about Maurice! They are well made things, feel fast and dangerous, I bet they'd lend themselves to a great display!

Gene
