Congrats Dom, looks sweet. What is missing though is a photo of the entire unsheathed blade so that we can get an idea of the full profile of the blade.

Dom,
Mabrook (Congratulations). it's a nice looking sword. I do not think it's Turkish Ribbon, it seems laminated. The locket is partly etched, which is unusual for scabbards. The scabbard in my opinion is later to the blade.
BTW, it looks perfect on your table and fits well among other objects:-)

Looks fabulous Dom!
I've always wanted one of those myself, so hearty congratulations!

Alf mabrouk Dom! This is indeed a very excellent Pala.

Good evening Alex
Thanks for compliments, and appreciations
I'll take on my account your comment about the type of steel for the blade
may be the scabbard is newest than the blade, but at that moment the hilt also ...
the decor for;
- the hilt
- the locket
- bottom tip
is exactly identical ... judge by yourself ... what should be my thought

and in the same time the leather has some scratches, apparently due to use, it's notartificially grown old

by the way, what you call a "table" is the top of a ... gothic chest of 15th century .. LOL

Hi Dom,
Is it possible to get more clearer pictures for writings, I have read them partially, but in the pictures there are some blurred areas and I have difficulty reading them.
