Hello Dimasalang, I'm very happy to see that you won this. If I remember right this is of sword length too.
The damage to the hilt should be easy enough to fix. My opinion on why these are so underrated is that there were so many tourist grade ones made that the real ones just go unnoticed most of the time. I was watching this and was going to bid on it ( I'm glad now that I didn't) but I had found something else that's coming up on epray that I would rather have and wanted to save my money for it. Congratulations on your new acquisition.
Robert
