Hello All,
I took a few additional photos of the horn hilted one in the brief bit of day light that we had today. A few before I spent a bit of time working on the Iron ferule, with soap, water, and a little vinegar, and a few after (I have more work to do on it!). The ferrule does seem to be integral with the guard, or at least very securely attached to it.
I'm also going to include a couple of the sellers photos, he may be more photographically talented than I am!
Oh, and Detlef, if you are jealous of one of mine, I am jealous of dozens of yours. You have an encyclopedia of sword! Thank you regardless, I'm very happy with both of these.
Hopefully these pictures will help.
Thanks,
Leif
