A possible Schiavona ancestor

Hello Fernando,

I'm with Iain here - at least wait for a while before deciding on any work.

Unless you contemplate to bring the whole blade to new polish and accept to reprofile the blade for a considerable part of its length (and then the hilt will most likely look off and possibly the blade crack worse), any local changes to the tip will probably make it look fake rather than better, I guess...

Regards,
Kai
