			Congrats indeed Panday! (drool, drool   
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	  )One might wonder just how a sword of this quality that has obviously been taken care of manages to lose it's sheath.

			Awesome catch, good I've been off ebay...lolz 
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	Thanks for sharing photos. The blade seems older than the hilt, maybe passed through several generations. If it used to be a warrior's the original scabbard could've been too damaged to salvage and later the blade with new hilt was kept as pusaka. Why so many missing scabbards from swords? battlefield pick ups...remember much was taken from the dead after war  |
