MOST EVERYTHING SEEMS TO BE IN TRADITIONAL MURUT FORM SCABBARD DECORATIONS ECT. THE BLADE IS IN THE PROPER SHAPE BUT THE FANCY ENGRAVING ON THE BLADE IS NEW TO ME. I DO SEEM TO REMEMBER SEEING FULLERS ON A BLADE AND PERHAPS SOME MARKS ON A BLADE SPINE. THE BANDS ON THE SCABBARD ARE USUALLY MADE FROM SOMETHING LIKE A TIN CAN NOT COPPER.
UNFORTUNATELY I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT MURUT BELIEFS OR TAILSMANIC MARKINGS BUT AM SURE ALL DESIGNS HAD SOME TRIBAL MEANING WHICH MAY STILL BE KNOWN OR NOT.?
I SUSPECT THIS SWORD WAS CUSTOM MADE EITHER BY COMMISION OF THE OWNER OR PERHAPS FOR A GIFT OR PRESENTATION. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN QUITE IMPRESSIVE WHEN NEW (NOT THAT IT ISN'T NOW

) IMAGINE IT WITH THE BRASS SHINING LIKE GOLD AND THE COPPER BANDS BLAZING RED AGAINST THE BLACK WOOD WITH THE STARK AND COMPLETE LIME INFILL AND A FRESH BELT OR CORD.

SOME GUYS HAVE ALL THE LUCK AND GET DA GOOD STUFF
