Hi Danny,
Thank you! I received them yesterday. The auction house had interchanged the scabbards and one scabbard mouth was once broken and got reglued, the blade which looks more worse on the picture is the better one and I've tried to clean a window, it's time consuming but the blade will look great when complete cleaned, it has inlays at the crown (the most is gone), the spine and on the blade, also here is the most gone. Both are nicer than the picture suggests. Some first pictures will follow. Regards, Detlef |

Here are some first pictures, one scabbard is cleaned, the other one I've cleaned a window from dirt and grease, the blades I've started, by the one with inlays only a window.
When I finish the work I will post further pictures. |

Hi Detlef
Very nice Sikin, although I have no knowledge about it. How do you clean the blades? Regards Marc |

Hi Detlef,
The look already better than on the photos from the auction house. The inlay is a nice bonus! I really like the carving on the bottom of one of the scabbards. |
