Thanks, Charles. The final will eventually come:-)
Very nice suggestion, Rick. As you pointed out, if it was made as European "corporate gift":-) the blade did not have to be wootz as it'd be polished bright, so I 100% agree with you.
The blade came heavily patinated, and was cleaned, polished and etched... the later will need to be reversed I am afraid:-)
Thanks guys!

... Thanks Ward. I'll repolish the blade, will certainly look better.
