Hello Lew,
Congrats! I knew a forumite would pick this up... ![]() I suspect that the scabbard is a late replacement. It's traditional enough to not bother about it though. Please post a close-up of the crest at the rear of the hilt. I bet the blade will show nice laminations, too. Regards, Kai |

i'd put a bid in my sniper as it's timing was 2am here, y'all drove the price up beyond it before the end so the sniper didn't get to bid. ah, well ,maybe next time i'll remember to bid higher. nice catch.
