well, i received the sword finally, and it is a quite bad reproduction as you can get. people be warry of this ebay seller "vegas and germany", the sheath has been distressed with a chemical so that the "new stained" wood and leather would look old. and the inscription on the blade is painted on with yellow paint, looked a lot better in pictures. the blade also looks new and not a true original. the brass work is also quite poor and a novice job. i guess this one wont be hung up on my wall with pride. ahaha. just a warning out to others to be carefull.

thanks for your help
