Thank you Detlef,
As a set it is nice/interesting, because of a big differences (heavy fighting form with big handle against light ceremonial form) on one sight and a very simmilar featrures (same basic design and hammering) on the other side.

There was a lot of work with. The blackening on the cereminial sword is still original, On the fighting form I had to "help" with blackening set for guns... I also used solution of tannin to preserve it at least for a fev next years
