You're right Barry, when I have posted the pictures in the other thread I have seen this as well and direct know that I can use this to built up a new eye for the scabbard of my one!

A VERY nice win on this. You did well at the auction. I have a horn pin that I think will be perfect for the end of the scabbard. As soon as I find it I will PM you to get your address so I can send it to you. My congratulations to you on this win also.

Have received the talibon, Rick and Steve are correct, a real massive blade. It is 10 mm thick at the base. Have given the wooden parts a good wood oil since it was very dry and after this a "massage" with antique wax.
Will take some additional pictures and post them the next days.

Regards,

Detlef

Congrates on the awesome piece!
