Amen, Jim

Jim, as we are dealing here with supposedly the world's most famous sword/s, I'm not surprised. And I'll try to contribute to that other thread with whatever significant info I'll stumble upon.

Best regards!

Here's the rest of the excerpts (in which only one page will be attached per post, as sometimes if the attachments are many per post, the sequence gets jumbled). So this would be page 2, and so forth, and so on:
