			Lew, Ariel, and Ernestojuan, 
		
		
		
			I really don't have the closeups by hand now, I would take more pics when I find the sword out.   Here are closeups of another butterfly sword. The hilt is made of horn and decorated with traditional design. I think it's very special, so took more pics when I made record for it. Wishes!  |
