Hi Jasper,
My congrats - you couldn't have done any better!
And thanks for showing these great images as well!
Nevertheless, I strongly recommend that you also consider purchasing a finely preserved sample coming your way in November - in as-new condition, and even retaining its original sheath including one of the bodkins.
It is the second best Katzbalger worldwide, after the famous specimen in the collections of the Vienna museum which once belonged to Ulrich von Schellenberg 500 years ago.
Best,
Michael
