Rap I bought a damaged ceremonial sword. The ivory handle is not firmly attached to the blade. The blade is engraved on both sides all the way to the hilt. It is of some sort of battle between Templar knights and a Middle east enemy. The silver 'ropes' that are attached to the sheath reminds me of mexican silver. I believe it is cursed and belonged to a secret order once upon a time. But it is damaged and not suitable for a dual.
