Ariel,
I couldn't agree more, ....about it being a priceless experience!
After all, how often can we mess about with an old blade without damaging it??
Really was a wondeful opportunity.
When I get done with this, then there is the question of the scabbard!!
Half upper wood is missing, but midle carrier and long metal cover on lower half intact.
Will be asking for input on wether to fix, leave alone, make new one, or whatever,....but not under this heading!
Thank you again for your kind words,
Richard.
