Absolutely flawless skin
The picture was coloured in, and the skin details were removed in the process.
Yeah. I figured as much. I was just being cheeky
Instagram filters, circa 1905
Looks more like a Scabbard-Smith. 🤣
I don't see any indication of a forge. Looks like he is mostly cleaning, straightening, and sharpening based on the tools. But I am only the most amateur of metal workers and could be wrong.
I'm making a wild guess and assume there's a forge in the back of the house. Would kind of make sense, I wouldn't want to sit next to a fire polishing a blade given the choice to sit semi outside
Did you want the full over head blueprint of the location to know the picture isn't fake?
Please build a giant telescope, and then point it at a black hole about 60ly away, so the light from earth is bent back towards us. Then we can observe this photo being taken in real time. Well, I haven't done the math on the aperture required, but I'm presuming solar system scale telescope will work... Thx
Somehow I doubt that'll satisfy you.

I don't know why, but there's something cool about seeing swords and guns together, especially in a setting like this.
Uhhh you realize there are muskets hanging on the wall, right? I think its fair to say they don't just make swords :)
Is that an ivory sheath on his left?
For some reason this reminds me of Pakistani gunsmiths. Similarly sized shops, also sitting on floors, no doors etc.
