Have you seen this type of artistry before outside of a Custom? Antique Swedish blade with decorated tang and tail as a fish.

As long as you don't have to bury it on a stony beach in winter for 6 months before you use it...

Seriously, that's amazing!

Definitely looks like either carp, coelocanth or dunkleosteus.

It is one of those "classical" fish portrayals much like you'll see on antique china patterns.

I don't really know enough about Swedish fishing to really know, but I'd bet it does correspond to a real fish.

It appears to be in terrific condition!

I will when it arrives from Sweden. I am anxious to hold it and examine it closely. It was one of the Gentleman's favorite in his collection.
