Either would probably be an appropriate replacement. Please post more detailed photos of it after it has arrived and you have had a chance to clean it up a bit. Again, congratulations on the newest additions to your ever growing collection.

Thank you as well Robert!
And yes, it is the question, was there a collar (and from which material) or braided rattan at the hilt?
Will post some pictures after I have received them!
