Anyone ever see a Greaves like this?
I got this the other day but hadn't really examined it yet. The scales were badly cracked at the pin which is why the blade is... Sans-pants, as it were.
I've got a Joseph Elliot with the same style blade and Lummus shows a Marshes & Shepherd, but I've never seen a Greaves. Adding to my curiosity, there's the faint hint of a fancy blade etch (just barely visible in the second picture), but I can't make it out at all.
Edited to add:
My cellphone picture doesn't make entirely clear, the blade has a pretty good taper to it. It goes from a solid 7/8 at the heel down to a 5/8 at the toe, and it's not hone wear. The blade was designed with that taper.Last edited by Voidmonster; 12-19-2011 at 07:29 AM. Reason: Clarification on blade shape
