Hi Tim,
You did well for someone with different collecting priorities! That's a very complete piha. As Bill noted the scabbards can be the most rare piece.
I like the pattern in the brass (vine patterns are called "liya vela", I think). I have seen a few others with the same. I have a some different variations but not that exact one.
Congrats on that find. I need to do an update on the pihakaetta.com pics. I'll add yours if you're okay with it.
