Hello Carlos,

thank you and sorry!! Have thought already that the offer was given from a forum member. It wasn't my plan to buy a second item at the same evening (see my other new thread) but this sword attracted my eyes and the seller offered free shipping and I see an offer already....

Regards,

Detlef

I have received the tenegre and I am extreme pleased with it. The handle have an outstanding patination and the old chips can't disturb the beauty. Have cleaned the blade with steel wool and WD40. There are some marking near the handle at the spine of the blade, what's unusual they going until the back of the blade. And there is a forging repair in the middle of the blade.
The leather throat I refresh with brown boot polish and the brass I have cleaned a little bit. What I never have seen before is the black covering of the scabbard, some sort of linen cloth.

WITH THE BETTER PICTURES IT CLEARLY HAS A MUSTACHE AND BEARD SO LIKELY REPRESENTS A SPANISH MAN, NOT A MONKEY. VERY NICE CARVING AS WELL AS LEATHER WORK.
