Yes, When I started collecting, I 'won' this beautiful sashqua at auction. It's of course a tourist nasty and lives in my Oops corner. The dark greenish black infill was still sticky when I received it.

Kronckew, that green stuff might be years of a patina residue that builds up thickly from the oxidation of the copper in the nickel-silver/German silver construction.

Jose,
Between this sword’s B’day and its transition to Kronk’s Oops corner there were not enough days (not years! ) to form a patina layer thicker than a single atom:-) Kronk, buddy, I feel your pain. We have all been there:-(((( |
