Yet another gunong for comment

Thank you Wouter,

I am as well very pleased by my purchase!

Agree with you about the scabbard, maybe it's an old replacement because the original one was lost, who knows? But the scabbard is well worked and seems to be made for the blade and with the polished up brass it looks nice enough.

BTW, the blade seems to be laminated, will etch it by time.

Best,

Detlef

Hello Detlef, All that I can say is WOW

and then add my congratulations on this very beautiful gunong that you have added to you collection. I have been waiting to post until you have received it so you would be able to post some better pictures that would show how nice it really is. Again my congratulation on your win. I am very envious.

Regards,
Robert

Thank you very much for your kind words!

I think we both have a good eye for the ebay sleepers.

A very nice piece. Alas us Brits are not trusted to buy blades on ebay.

Thank you David.

And yes, ebay is a crazy platform. Here in Germany it's not possible to look to listings where is written WW II.

Have just given a mild etch to the blade and it showing a very nice lamination. Like you know is it a little bit difficult to show it by pictures but I think it is to seen.

So, what you think Jose?
