Ditto on seeing you at the show and will show you the mamluk armor. My goal is to have a great time with friends and come back with something I have not had before.

If your tulwar is pattern welded that can be good. A pattern weld can be re-etched and if it is a pattern meant to be shown it would enhance both the beauty and value of the sword. If a pattern weld was done for function only usually with a hard steel blade edge and not meant to be shown it would have been polished bright.
