A possible Schiavona ancestor

I, too, wish to express my opinion that the tip of the blade should be kept unaltered, and I agree with other members on preserving the good old patina.

Compliments on your nice display, 'Nando!

Best,
Michael

I will second (or third) the comments about your display Fernando. It's always a true pleasure to see an old warrior in good company. A good display of swords in the same family gives invaluable visual information - size, characteristics (heavy, light, longer, shorter) suddenly all become clear.

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks much for your impressions Iain.
Better than receiving such compliments is to know that you guys are pleased.
