New Sword Collector Seeking Input

[Fernando K]

Hello everyone

Forgive my ignorance. I'm not a collector of edged weapons, but I'd be interested in the experts' opinions on the guard decoration. It's acid etched, file-cut, stamped, or perhaps engraved with burins or chisels (I don't see any details that would allow us to know how it was obtained). Thank you very much.

Sincerely,

[Seeker]

A lot of great information in these most recent posts. Thanks to everyone involved.

They're a combination of drilled, chiselled and filed.
