[brabbit]

Thanks for your help guys. I REALLY appreciate it. I've done hours of reseach on the net and at the library and came up with nothing. Here are some more detailed pics. I know there is a lot of history behind this sword, especially because of the engravings on the blade. The scabbard is very detailed as well. Any more information you can give me, such as the time period, what the symbols mean, etc?
