Lots of work but good luck!

Thank you Jose. Good possible that there is also missing a small part of the top tail, not good to see on the seller pictures and I hope that not and the pommel is just not so elongated like your one (hope that you don't mind to post your picture again). I am not to sure that there is something from the chased silver is missing, it seems that the third silver band is just turned around, think you mean this place!?

Regards,
Detlef
