Thanks for the ID! Would you consider this a rarer than usual piece have not seen many Baule swords or daggers around?

Flavio

There are a few tacks missing which I can replace the question is should I restore it or just leave it be?

Lew,

I think it's better you leave as it is, it's a very nice sword and quite rare and some tacks missing aren't a big problem for the general beauty of this piece. Instead I was thinking about the blade, from pics seems a little rusty, just a little
