Basket hilted backsword

Hi Cathey

I would agree. The price is the pertinent factor here and I don't have that information.

I am not an expert in early swords.

There are obviously different grades of weapon, among both real early pieces and Victorian copies.

This makes authentification all the harder.

So I prefer to err on the side of caution.

But I would take a small risk if the the price was right. Certainly.
