Charles, very nice example you have shown. Definitely a status piece.

Marcus, it's good to see the authentic brass inlay style. There are some recently made versions that use metal staples to produce a similar pattern and these are just brutal to hold or try to use--bloodied palm and fingers from gripping the sharp metal inserts makes them purely display items!
