Thank you for the warm reception on my first Baule sword. I like these swords very much, also.

Here is one just gotten. Older and more worn.

You will see in the first picture that the scabbard does not even cover the blade.

See picture #7 for detail sewing the back of the scabbard tip.

The shells have a glorious color and almost surreal presence.

I am getting out my Ren wax, do a little preserving.

If only it could talk, what stories!
