Carbon Steel Middle Ages Cutting Sword

This sword is very pretty; and would make quite a wallhanger but that's about it. Came with no edge, the pommel is way too small and the balance is so poor you might as well be swinging a sledgehammer. The leatherwork is terrible, the leather quality is trash, and it's all screwed together, loosely at that. I haven't taken it apart because I might sell it; however, I'd bet money that its got a rat tang. You could probably make a fairly decent sword out of it if you had access to some tools. you'd have to add weight to the pommel and give the blade an edge and a better fuller, as the fuller was barely existent. The sheath barely fits the sword, it requires notable force to remove it or replace it, and the sheath itself was banged up. The shipping was awful, and the box was beat to hell on arrival, with holes included. the guard on the sword was long on one side and short on the other, as well as very wobbly. it was made in Pakistan; or at least, according to the poor etching job on the blade it was. I can't say much as to the metallurgy, although it does seem to be at least somewhat quality steel. Might be carbon; however, I highly doubt it. All in all, pretty sword; however, a piece of garbage and you'd be better off buying something else.
