Steve, I really like this sword, it has that solidly built common warrior look to it and judging by the size of the hilt, and the forging flaws some definate age. While I also like those that are tricked out to show status, I keep getting draw to the functional and well made as representations of the mainstream culture of the time and fior that I think you have an excellent example.

Have you thought about soaking it in vinegar- we tried that in Sulu with coconut vinegar and if there was any grain it brought it right out. We were really surprised by some that we soaked (1-3 days). Tried it at home with regular vinegar and it worked pretty good also.
