A very nice sword Dimasalang, I especially like the 360 carving on the hilt. Is the separation damage on the guard caused by being dropped or hit in the one spot, or is it from the horn itself starting to delaminate? The scabbard (though somewhat plainer than some that I have seen) is very nicely carved, and the shell casing being used in this way is a nice as well as unusual accent piece. Can you tell what caliber the casing is, and what the rest of the scabbard wrapping is made from? Another very nice catch. Both items posted here (your's and Vandoo's) again show that an envy icon is a much needed addition to the Smiles selection that we now have.

Best,
Robert
