A Gifted One...

Post by Olly » Sun Aug 07, 2011 12:25 pm

The joy of gifting and ofcourse the joy of accepting are difficult to express in words, for they are internal and sentimental and forge deep feelings and bondings between friends. Nevertheless, I share here a beautiful blade, gifted to me by a well-wisher from South-West India, in commemoration of my inclusion in the Limca Book of Records....

The blade reads CORONA Capon while PERU and ??? are inscribed on the casing...
It has Iguanas (?) running all over the hilt while a South American Macaw and a Alligator (?) show on the scabbard...

More information on the baby is welcome, as I would surely need to document it and preserve it... !!

Here she is...

I'd rather keep it safely... ! :P
This is the only one of its type that I have...

I do have another one made of Yak Bone completely, even the blade ! It has a Phoenix engraved on one side and a Dragon on the other... I suspect the blade to be a part of the rib or something...
