Now it is not a tool, not a weapon, and not well done.
The fit of the handle into the eye seemed really sloppy. I think if it ever was used it would slip off. |

Whenever I see one of these "restoration" it makes me cringe, even if it is an obviously modern or junk item. I worry about how many people with actual valuable antiques in their attic will take to belt sanding down their inherited patinated 16th century broadswords and rapiers in an attempt to make them look shiny again.
