Hello Maurice,

Congrats, that's a really sweet 19th c. blade - really like this Sulu style! Quite typical with a length of 20.5 inches, too. Nice etching job!

Also love the small pommel style as you know...

Did you tried a bit of wax on the scabbard to get a less dry look of the wood? (As well as offering a bit of protection from the low-humidity in-house.)

Regards,
Kai

Yes I used wax on the wood. Maybe it is not clear to see on the images, but it has a much better look allready as when I got it.

Not yet, but I will try soon and surely let you know!
