Very Old Firangi with Rapier blade in need of restoration.

[katana]

Very please to have added this Firangi .

The whole sword is quite rusty, and the pommel 'dome' and 'but-spike' is missing. The blade is 40" (100cms) long and centrally fullered with the Khanda styled hilt with guard.
I would like to get the pommel end restored with replacement parts.

I know that a number of 17thC Rapier blades were used in these swords ..... and I couldn't resist not buying it (It's a 'boyhood' thing...... Errol Flynn and all that )

I wondered what others thought.....
