Hello Jim. This is a fine piece of history... actually, two fine pieces of history: the sword and your narrative, both of which which are greatly appreciated; thank-you for the posting.
The sabre is an attractive sword and - as is your want - enshrines many possibilities in its beaten condition.
It does raise a question however: what is the story behind the centavo embellishment? Is it purely decorative, or is it just a practical addition to a loose grip? Any thoughts?
