Seriously Ascalon, very nicely done, and an excellent example especially with the scabbard. The engraving on the spine is really exceptional.

Please do read through the years of discussion that have brought our exclamations and considerable 'entertainment' as linked here.
I believe that proudly, the final determination on the identification of these fascinating swords was keyed to observations by Dr. Lee Jones and finally by Ariel, here on this forum.

All the best,
Jim
