Nice sword, I didn't bid because I haven't seen it.

You want to replace the missing end cap of the handle?

Thanks. Id like to replace the end cap..not sure how I would be able to do that though, and then make it match the patina on the brass.

Dimasalang, wow nice catch indeed

Can you please show us close-up pics of the design on the scabbard? Thanks!

Dimasalang, very nice example. Good condition of the emblem. I saw this but I already have something in the works. Congrats. The mounts are steel, right?

Thanks, yah that mounts look to be steel now that I looked at it again. hehe

Well they look to be steel, but they could also be silver. Testing would determine.

The butterfly seems an unlikely symbolism on such a blade. Is there some significance i am unaware of.
