it's here,

14.25 in. double edged blade, 7/8 in. wide at the guard, 0.2 in. thick (5mm.) at the 1.75 in. long brass ricasso cover - this bit fits inside the scabbard, fits equally well either way around. blade is distal tapered to a needle point. some evidence of pattern in the steel, i may try a light etch to see if there is anything.

5.5 in. brass/copper/aluminum/wood or horn (?) grip, 1.5x1x3/4 guard in brass and copper,
scabbard is heavy copper with the single rear heavy copper hinged d-ring mount.

Really nice mate, I was seriously tempted to bid on that one.
I particularly like the copper scabbard!

I wondered if the blade was a reuse?
