 This is an antique, for Heavens sake!
 
 I think we need to show a bit more respect to this old warrior.

 Hello Ariel,
the different view Alan has explained already but the minimum what I would do with this sword is try to remove the green paint at the hilt carefully. And a try to fix the movement from the wooden part is worth the effort IMVHO.
