Hi Kai,

You did think I had forgotten you, didn’t you? Well I have not, but so far I have not seen it, maybe I have seen it somewhere else.
It is however a rather unusual blade, so there will not be many of them around, and as we don’t know what it is called, we will have to wait till a picture appears.
I have looked at the hilt again, and I think I will agree with you that it is a parrot.
