Thank you Tim! :)

Frankly said, you was my great hope to identify it! :D

My old friend Ulrich Kortmann, who would have been able to identify it, is deceased last year. Sadly and too early!

Hello Tim,

To clean a blade from rust and old grease I use a rubber gum like pictured, you can get it by Amazon. To preserve leather I use shoe polish.

Hello Eric,

I think it's pointless to worry about where this blade came from! Without a handle and scabbard, it will be very difficult to assign the blade. And it's not a very special blade which...

Hi Marius,
