Lew, Glad to hear it has arrived safely. Now that it has been cleaned and inspected can we expect new and better pictures???
 Did the seller supply any proof that it was owned by Berry? I would be really great if he could. Looking forward to the new pictures. Robert |

I found this on the web today. Lucien G Berry was indeed stationed in Southern Luzon.

It really cleaned up nice. I can't believe the scabbard looks that good now. Great job !!

Very nice piece!
I wasn't aware there were older pieces that used kamagong as hilt material. A bit of a revelation for me. Thanks for sharing, Lew! |
