Hello Maurice,

About the silverwork....Just below the cacatua pommel there is a "copper" plate as decoration, which has old patina. I guess this material could be used as ferrule instead of silver??
Overlooked that. What metal is the wire holding it?

Yes, I agree that the scabbard likely had also bands of copper.

Regards,
Kai
