				 Ricasso 
 
			
			Fernando:  I included close-up photos of the marks on the ricasso in the first group of pix.  Those photos were taken with a macro lens with the best lighting I could provide.  Short of disassembling the sword, I reached my photographic limits.  However, the symbols on the blade are actually quite clear and consistent under magnification.  I drew the symbols and added a photo if that helps.
