Hi Marc,
Though not being able by far to match your profound arguments on correctly assigning this sword I fully agree with you from the little I do know. So I am not ashamed to admit just having followed the catalog description.
Whenever trying to be precise on edged weapons in my posts I follow expert opinions sought before.
Like always, your kind words on the 'outfit' of my posts make all efforts seem worth while, so thanks a million!
Best,
Michael
