Maurice,

Merry Christmas to you and your family also! And thank you.

Charles,

I am with you, I also have never seen before this way rattan binding.

The complete sword with scabbard is in a very good condition with the exception of the small missing piece of wood at the mouth of the scabbard. Have already asked the seller if he still keep this piece of wood but haven't answer until now.

Best regards,

Detlef
