Stupendous.
The easy part is to fall in love with this magnificent sword; the hard part is to get the funds to bring it home with us. Thank you so much for showing us, Jasper. |

Splendid
This really does demonstrate what the premium for provenance can be at the top of the market. I had totally missed that this was coming on sale and greatly appreciate the links and photos.

In any case a fabulous result for a sword with a wonderful history. |

That's the one in the Met correct? The Bashford Dean sword.
