Thanks much for the cheer up .
I had a conversation with the person with whom i traded this sword. He has bought is as it is, but he promised to replace the blade with one of his unmounted ones available from an earlier period. |

Here we are; remounted with a period blade. Spanish, German; would anyone have a guess ?
Length 81 cms. Width 27 mm. Thickness 7 mm. Looks like the grip is not bone, but some kind of boar tooth or the like. . |

That blade looks more in harmony with the hilt now. You'd be happy with that result.
