The big one I showed previously measures 45 cm.
And here's a small one, only measuring 27,5 cm.

This took some time, I think I have gone far enough or have I over done it?

Tim nice but I think you slightly over cleaned it. For some reason American collectors like to see more age on a weapon where I find most European collectors like cleaner looking blades. The later is based on the fact that Africans always kept there weapons polished so the European collectors just do the same.

Yes Lew, it is a bit bright but I have only just finished. In time it will mellow. As I accquired this example at a very low price I thought I had nothing to loose. I will try and post a picture of the example that inspired me to meddle further than usual.
