It's done ... and arriving next Sunday !
Based on a picture of part of someone's collection, sent to me two years ago, followed by a brief look when i later visited his house. I don't even recall if i have handled it.
I hope i am not frustrated when i am able to check the whole of it, soon as it arrives. It has cost me a pile of money.
Naturally i am counting with a good genuine left hand dagger from the 1600's.The fluted pommel will make it look like the partner of a swept hilt rapier i have.
Nothing to show for the time being. Pictures of the entire thing right after Christmas.
