Hello Charles,

the restore job of the scabbard is very nicely done. I like the beautiful grain at the cross piece from the scabbard. And I like the polished up metal fittings from the hilt, it's look much better now. I know that others will disagree but think about this like you. Is the white metal silver?

Regards,
