ARIZONA SWORDS

This sword shows up on internet auction sites almost every week.  It is a fake!  

The casting is poor and lacks details without sand-casting details. The star is to high and should be below the top band, not in it. The grip is too thick and is not the proper leather and the blade washer it top thich and newer. It lack of a number, which should be in the face of the guard.  Blade fuller is to far forward and the blade lacks the flaws common to Boyle & Gamble, and the pommel cap is not one used by Boyle & Gamble.
