Very awesome sword! Glad you removed the rust, ASPaulding. I would also think a good possibility of being 'colonial/provincial', but await further comments. Jim, that ivory-gripped colonial cuphilt of yours is amazing! I know we've all seen mine, but this thread gives me an excuse to post my Caribbean example again!

Thank you Capn! Im glad you added this fantastic example of yours, which really carries out the spectrum of character in these colonial type examples. What I really like on yours is the cross hatched ebony grip.
