As suggested I have tried to contact the buyer but ebay security measures are in place and as I was active in the bidding process the highest bidder is protected from me making contact now. I have written to the seller to also do the same as experience has told me that many following up has a better chance. I hope someone in this wonderful community can make contact with this ebayer on my behalf and put us both in contact. At the very least I would love the buyer to share with us anymore information they may know about the sword but if I keep my fingers crossed just long enough who knows what may happen.
many thanks Guys, I love being part of it.
regards
Gav
