Nice sword. I particularly covet these weapons with coin handle caps (I hesitate to term them "pommels" anymore, as they really don't serve such a function). I've got a few with similar coins, and the provenance they contribute can be very helpful, even if not always definitive.

Otherwise, I agree with the prior comments.
