thank you for your advise I will certainly take it to heart. 🙏🏼
I am curious to see what an appropriate scabbard would be, not that I think there is any chance that I ever come across one but just out of curiosity.
Another thing is the D guard. It has, on the D guard which is not fixed to the hilt, a mark where, quite obviously would have been a hole to put a screw or a nail to fix the blade in place, nobody did go through with that and the guard was never fixed to the hilt. I have been debating, with myself, whether this would be a good idea or not it really adds nothing to the way you can grip the sword , note that in this thread this similar sword has that screw, also that sword too has no scabbard (at least not one shown in the pictures)
