I also posted of it a couple of times at SFI and did receive some new information from respondents. However, nothing about the crown. My only thoughts were that whatever other detail once shown had been obliterated to remove any imperial connotations and then used beyond the second empire.

The clean up of the topic sword in this thread looks a thousand times better. I know many are reluctant to do much of anything to old swords but careful restoration to at least control corrosion and then bring back some appearances really does benefit an object to some extent.

Thats a beaut of a sword you've got there Glen. I had to bump the thread I'm afraid.

I quite agree that some gentle cleaning and restoration is fine.
As you say, stop the rot and restore some condition.
