hi serge, thanks for the additional provenance, makes the sword even more special. the sword appears to have been polished by the last owner, but he's done a good job and hasn't rounded any edges, must have done it by hand. there is evidence in the embossing of a darker background, so that it appears he was careful not to polish in their vicinity to prevent blurring them.
