Haha, keith, i know a sword is not made in a day , i was trying to see a swordsmith in a more human way, it all seems so idealistic. I take it they made money when they sold there swords, i can imagine a swordsmith being reluctant to throw one in the bin after 2 weeks work, as you say maybe sold unsigned, or if they thought the customer was clueless, sign it :lol: . Just the way i look at things i suppose, always looking for another take on things, knowing what i know about folk and there shananigans.
