Thank you Emanuel for the kind words! I think we both learned a lot together on these fascinating swords.  
Thank you for the note on the brasso as well.......I always encourage maximum restraint on cleaning and restoring these weapons. I have always thought of patina as literally embodied 'history', and belongs to the weapon itself.
