Blade and handle

Both are lovely pieces with great patina. Thanks for sharing. In particular the leather of the Salampasu scabbard is very well preserved.

Hi Flavio,

I think that your blade was heavily corroded, still a nice sword.

BTW, I also think that the number is 159.

Regards,

Detlef

Thank you Iain

Detlef,

yes the blade was very corroded and so, one of the previous owners had heavily cleaned it... that's why the decoration is a little bit vanished
