My Peter Johnsson blunt whit new copper hilt. I grew tired of that the armored gloves destroyed the leather on the hilt, so I let Willhelm Shultz make this adjustment. It took 60meters of 1mm copper. Usually the cupper was gilded, but I come from Falun a town in Sweden that have since the 11 century been known for its copper mine, so in a tribune to my old home town, I didn’t cover it in gold.
