It is 16 inches long (40 cm). There is nothing missing and I don't know how both sides of the bolsters are connected except that they are part of the hilt and the bolster is not separately made. As far as the wootz is concerned, I am having problems showing it by camera. Some of what I can see is near the temper line.
I was advised that a red velvet scabbard with a small gilded chape and embroidery down the backside would be good. What do you suggest for a scabbard? What about the bi-knives?
