hi geordie
it looks a nice piece dose that but dont go expecting to much from it the bad news is its only an indian made tourist
piece with the lions head pommel just clean it up soak the sheath in baby oil till it wont soak up any more then
dry it of grease the blade if your going to store it or polish it and put it on display if i remember i,ll send you a proper
rack to display it on

The lion head holds the tang, and it's knackerd lol it's wobbly a bit, the hand punched etching is pretty good quality but deffinatly needs tlc

[the blade master]

yes i know the lion head helps to hold the handle to the tang it dose the same job as the diamond shaped gizmo
on the brass butcap on your presentation piece
