Thanks Xasterix.
Also very true about giving high status gifts to noted strangers, foreign dignitaries, etc. |

By the way, this is how I originally got the piece. I etched the blade, cleaned up the hilt and took off the former "repair" tail off and did my best to repair/restore the tail.

Actually it is custom to etch the blade on these pieces. I'm following tradition.
