			Well, this little gem arrived today. It is everything i had hope, ivory hilt, silver fittings, laminated blade, even the chatoyance i thought i saw in the photos on the wood of the sheath is there. Everything looks tight and original. One thing i wasn't expecting is that the blade is double edged.  
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	Give me a few days and i'll get some better images of the cleaned up piece.

			Hi Steve...you know, i didn't yet. I have cleaned it up a bit and tried a vinegar etch on the blade which yielded no pattern. I was considering polishing the blade back again because i think it might look better that way. I will try to get some pics up in the next few days.
