Hey guys,
I just learned (after some careful analysis and investigation) that the top part of the scabbard is NEW !!!!!! I mean Brand New. Very well done for sure, but the fact is that it is NOT 100% original. Still, nice restoration and nice sword overall. I also met the person who restored it, and his work is impeccable, i.e. as close to original as feasibly possible. And he is an honest person, even more rare find than the ottoman shamshir:-) I'll show you his work and the swords soon, it well deserves the attention.
