Afghan Choora with etched 'wootz' blade sale/trade

Nice vintage Afghan Choora with an interesting faux-wootz pattern etched into the blade. Condition is good, as shown in pics, some light rust-dust on the balde would clean off very easily. Hilt scales appear to me to be some kind of early composite material, possibly that Bakelite relative that was used for faux ivory then turned orange with age or some kind of celluloid?
Sheath has embossed brass covering which is in good condition. Throat plate is lifting slightly as you can see in the pictures.
I'd prefer UK or Europe on this one,
Price is £120 or if Uk then swaps considered.
Postage at cost and +4% for paypal.
