AlphaRaider Posted May 27, 2024 Report Posted May 27, 2024 This is a buddies sword from the gun show circuit. He asked me if i could snap some pictures and get a bit of information from all the smart people here. Any idea on a name or blade info would be really neat. They are cell phone pictures so not the best I apologize for that. Thanks for your help everyone. Quote
