JIm, regarding the two kaskara hilts shown in the above post by you; a question, has anyone come up with a meaning or origin of the mark on the right hand blade? Does this mark signify european or local manufacture?
The Kaskara that I own has this same mark, and maybe my memory is failing me but I can't remember whether it was identified. |

It seems you and I have the only examples of this mark (that I can recall), but these discussions were 14 or more years ago, and I think I've had the sword for about 20 years or so. The mark does not indicate European source for the blade, but it may be a copy of one. Really hoped we'd find some solution, but there are many 'enigmas' with these weapons.......shaver cool man! |

Thanks Jim, I guess my incipient dementia isn't that bad after all..
The mystery continues then. |
