Gentlemen, in regards to the etching , I will consider it .
In regards to the silver dressings on the hilt, it could very well be later work, to enhance the piece for sale, however I'm curious as to what is missing or why the job was only half done ? It doesn't appear that the sword has suffered any great trauma so how would a half dressed hilt be more commercially viable?
Ian, I think you made a very good argument and supported it very well with your documentation and I have no problem accepting it
