Shi or Havu sword for comment

Hello Russel,

it's a real beauty, like very much the beautiful ivory grip. Colin have maybe doubts if the handle is original to the blade and frankly said I am as well when I have seen this sword by ebay. But now I am nearly sure that it is originally or already very long together with the blade.

Congrats for this great addition to your collection.

Regards,

Detlef

I too have some reservations about the handle ....the wear / colouration looks un-natural

Perhaps more pics may change that...once you received it. Still an interesting piece.

All the best

David
