Hi Martin,

Thanks for the very insightful comments. I always appreciate when you write something because you are lucky enough to travel in these regions.

About the handle on my sword, for sure the leather on the guard and grip is a bit later.

However the form, I mean the structure of the guard and pommel I think is original to the blade and of the same age.
