that's very nice, Steve,& you did a great job cleaning it. definitely made for someone well off. wish there was more info on these. the only thing I can add is I'm confident some of these date back to the 19thC & some must of been made for women (not this one, of course). I have one that I can't even get two fingers around the hilt. maybe they became more popular with the ban on fighting swords.
