Thanks for your input Mapico, the seller states that the 'scabbard' has age, I'll wait and see if this is the case. As I mentioned before..I was not certain about the scabbard.
But, if you are correct, why do these swords not have some form of scabbard? That seems strange....after all who wants to walk around branishing your sword all the time.....it would be inconvenient. Plus the fact a scabbard offers protection to the sword when not in use.
