i see your saber, unfortunatly its a bit out of my "target price range" right now

Oh, don't worry! They come in all sorts of shapes and prices. Yet the question remains, is that the Ketland you mention?

It looks just like one of the pics you posted, that's the reason I brought same to the forum's attention. From what I remember of its origins, its 1820s vintage.
