The first sword posted is only ugly to me because of the condition.

Plenty of ugly swords out there. Especially "decorative" modern fantasy wallhangers. Sticking to ugly functional swords I own, maybe the ugliest is this one:

Don't know where this comes from. Certainly Indonesian. Perhaps Sumba, or elsewhere in the Lesser Sundas.

This is my ugliest Philippine sword:

And of all swords, they based it on the Japanese T32, only made it beefier......

Ugh. Damiddleeascus strikes again; is there a maker/retailer of those things who is kinda reliable? Just interested, sometimes the stuff looks cool.

Sir Thorfinn: Trooperwill - we'd all love to help. My suggestion is to start posts with 3-4 swords at a time so the forum can give you our best guess, as the prices can be a moving target. Just my .02 Dec 4, 2024 15:01:52 GMT
