			Thank you Alan and I am glad that you could confirm my opinion with some certainty. It is a pity that the blade was damaged, it mat be younger than the 17th Century although it has kept the original features of these blades brought to Europe at that time. I am personally amazed by the quality of the pamor pattern and carving of the ricikan considering the presumed age of this piece.
