Well! That one certainly ticks all the right boxes!
A beautiful example, congratulations indeed!!! Love the way the guard slots into the mouth of the scabbard.

WOW
 Now that is nice. It certainly does have all the bells and whistles. Makes me want to get out and cruise through whats left of the antique shops around here. Congratulations on this great find.Regards, Robert |

What a great piece! Congrats Ron!
I have seen these scabbard mouths before on lowlander pieces. This one is complete and well carved. Very nice indeed! |

Interesting motifs on the sheath, Chinese influenced lucky coins.
The little flowers to the top, similar are also seen within the old French Indo China borders.... Gav |
