Thanks guys! 
 
Atlantia that's truly fantastic that you were able to find that ring so quickly! 
 
Still fairly interested in the inscription on scabbard, since I agree the scabbard and blade are probably a match, with the handle a later replacement.  As to the age of the composition, that will have to wait until I get it in hand to see how it is attached.  Surely done by someone with access to disparate parts!
