I too saw it Dennee, I think this was the third time I've seen it now.

Third time for me too, but I was surprised to see it switched onto another weapon.

I almost bought the piece for the chatelaine and not the sword.

Seeing the quality I nearly did the same, it a beautiful piece of displayable art in itself much like almost anything in silver from the regions of Tibet and Bhutan.
