If, perchance, you do decide to at least add to the ball, keep in mind that Florida now has a legal alligator season and I suspect that the teeth could be easily obtained.
From a strict appearance standpoint, the teeth would be hard to differentiate from a crocodile, and while alligators are generally considered to be less aggressive than crocs, the number that have started adding senior citizens to their diet in past years may change that soon.**grin**

Bill:

Your example is every bit as complete and fine as Artzi's. Personally, I would not touch it except to clean any rust from the blade and keep the hilt lightly oiled to prevent cracking. Excellent find.
