Hi Carlos,

, yes I know! Who you think is the new owner? Normally I want to post pictures when the handle and guard is reset and straightened. I think that this one is much older as the first one, sadly is the handle elongation broken and missing but this swords are so rare that I think that it was worth the paid price and even with the handle damage it's a very interesting piece of great ethnographic worth. I think that this piece is from the middle of the 19th century.

Regards,
Detlef
