I will certainly give the blade an etch at some time - when I have built my confidence on lesser items!
You pre-empted me Kai, the scabbard has intrigued me. Most examples I have seen images of have some form of extension at the mouth of the scabbard. Is this a known type? If it is a repair to a break, it must have been some time ago, as there is no sign of it and the patina is quite uniform.
