Thanks again Maskell in identifying part of the signature! I'm wondering if anyone else here can help with the "grass writing" that you spoke of? It would be nice to have any further help.

Also, I'm still wondering about trying to restore this weapon. I'm not sure if I'd like to keep it "as is" - or if I'd like to keep it at all. What are the thoughts of the members here on restoration (like getting the missing hilt pices and recovering the scabbard) vs. leaving it as it has aged?

Any thoughts would be appreciated!

Best Regards,
Tim
