Hi Mark
Thanks for the thumbs up and the extra information,
The grip is ivory and actually my very first ivory handled sword. I have a fairly divergent collection but never had ivory sort some strange reason.
I reckon this is a keeper so it will be a while before this one gets moved on to someone else but my 9 year old has a good interest in my collection and I reckon he will be ahead of you in the will stakes, sorry mark
Regards
Ken
