Thanks Richard!! Those are excellent pointers in looking at these swords, and those are the kind of tips that really help in assessing these weapons. Thank you for sharing them, especially about the dings at the end of the scabbard, one never thinks of the damage to the scabbard, always focused on the sword. This is true weapons forensics, looking for clues beyond what is normally the center of attention.

All the best,
Jim
