Wow Ben,
That is a rare find!
Did you grab it out of a museum at night when nobodys there?
(Well in Bronbeek I didn,t see such nice piece as you have).
I also like the shape of the scabbard. Never have seen such with that round looking shape which holds the sharp edge of the blade when it,s in the scabbard.
Also the attractive handle is one of the book!
Can you please post some pics of the handle from the side and back?
I,m looking forward to hold it once! (or twice, or more often).
Regards,
Maurice
