You are a very gracious man Robin. We all hate to be bearers of bad tidings but want to honest. It is a beautifully made sword regardless, and many collectors are aesthetic oriented seeing the artistic merits rather than historic elements. In cases like this, a little of both as the interpretations are often based on traditional and historic values.
