Stupendous.
The easy part is to fall in love with this magnificent sword; the hard part is to get the funds to bring it home with us.
Thank you so much for showing us, Jasper.

Thumbs up Splendid

This really does demonstrate what the premium for provenance can be at the top of the market. I had totally missed that this was coming on sale and greatly appreciate the links and photos.

I rather imagine the purchaser viewed it in person or at least had someone do it for them.

In any case a fabulous result for a sword with a wonderful history.

That's the one in the Met correct? The Bashford Dean sword.
