a good seller has every time very good and pertinent arguments

sure, it will be restored, I purchased it for 2,5 peanuts

as the scabbard is in "metal sheet" I doubt that it was show like that,
may be plated by "tombac" ?? or by ??? or nothing

it's this type of information that I try to collect,
but till now excepted you, and a very good friend by PM,
nobody seems interested by my subject

Thanks to both of you

Hi Dom,

Hey buddy, you know me! Always ready to jump in with an opinion

Can't find if it was discussed prior to being sold, but this is Nando's one that I thought was similar in the shape and blade decoration......

Can you post a close-up of the scabbard decoration?
