chevalier If I may suggest read as much as possible on the subject and buy the best pieces in your budget as possible. It is better to have 1 excellent example then 10 poor or 5 mediocre examples. This forum has a mix of people of different interest and different income and collecting levels. I personally would be be more interested in a early example of the type of sword you had posted. When you get into manufactured blades in comparison to hand made blades you are getting into more industrial factory work instead of a particular artisans work. It is a matter of what you are interested in collecting and the reasons behind it
