			Stupendous. 
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	The easy part is to fall in love with this magnificent sword; the hard part is to get the funds to bring it home with us. Thank you so much for showing us, Jasper.  |

			This really does demonstrate what the premium for provenance can be at the top of the market. I had totally missed that this was coming on sale and greatly appreciate the links and photos.
