This blade has not been etched yet. I plan to lightly etch it with white vinegar. Regards, Fernando |

Thanks for the full-length photo Fernando. Looks like a beautiful blade.
BTW, if you find you have too much trouble properly fitting the old hilt to this blade i wouldn't hesitate replacing it with another. My only complaint about this practice is how often some collectors seem to swap out parts for upgrades just to increase the perceived value of the over all ensemble without concern for history or appropriateness of the upgrade.

I do have to agree with David - I too have seen this practice. Although it is an old Moro tradition, today the historical value might be a different story since these are antiques.
