No screws, no welding, and tons of laha. There's also some evidence of a bit of delamination of the steel towards the hilt, which I think helps me out a bit.

When the Austro-Hungarian Empire split up in 1918-1919 it was proposed that Austria would join Germany but it was rejected by the Entente. Roughly at the same time, Bavaria started its seccession movement. The thing with Austrians and Bavarians is that they share dialects, share more culture than just Austria and Germany. Besides, what Germans (beside the Bavarians) like Bavarians anyway? ("Ugh, Berlin is so gray, you should see Bavaria with its green fields, pre-alps and the white churches")Eктωρ said:Gestricius said:Maximillian I was actually Austrian, so...
You know, not to sound hitlerious but there's absolutely nothing that makes Austria any different from other German places with strong local culture like Bayern and Saxony. Bavaria, if independent, would be more ungerman than Austria.

I've never seen one of these before, they're very neat. The WWII Katanas look fairly standard or even just cheap and shoddy, but this has an interesting mix of European handle/hilt influence with the old wakizashi style and it's just cool.
