<p>[QUOTE="springfld.arsenal, post: 1541047, member: 54"]A very close exam of the VOC logo using a sharper image should let an experienced eye tell whether new or old. Sword itself looks old to me but the handle looks more like something more from India than, say, Indonesia, a VOC-infested place. It is a bit odd that the logo is so sharp and other marks are much more worn/corroded. VOC was near their peak in 1763, no way they’d be buying old swords. I’ve never seen a VOC-marked sword before but that doesn’t mean much.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
