Nice paint work, althoug I am a bit puzzled by the fuller on the blade - it seems to stop somewhere behind his hand and I cannot think of a reason why this would be the case.
Any sword experts can explain this to me? Enquiring mind wants to know.

The originally piece is made by the right hand and Sword, the piece is thus carved. I read that fullers were made to lighten the sword.
