Congrats indeed Panday! (drool, drool )
One might wonder just how a sword of this quality that has obviously been taken care of manages to lose it's sheath.

Nechesh, Andrew, thanks for the gratitude.
Just one lucky sword collector I guess!

Of couse, I was fortunate enought to have a decent job, but my family comes first, if there's ever any left overs, I save 'em for my toys, you know the routine.

Awesome catch, good I've been off ebay...lolz
Thanks for sharing photos.
The blade seems older than the hilt, maybe passed through several generations.
If it used to be a warrior's the original scabbard could've been too damaged to salvage and later the blade with new hilt was kept as pusaka.
Why so many missing scabbards from swords? battlefield pick ups...remember much was taken from the dead after war
