Andrew, yours is extremely similiar in the design work, I wonder if that is typical of the period of the locale.

Puff mine has 15 petals at the ferrule and like Andrew I'm interested to know the signifigance.

My sword has 12 petals.

The wire work is silver and copper, and the handle has been repaired. Given the short length and appearance of the repair, it's almost surely been shortened. Not sure what the metal sheeting on the handle is made of. Could be silver.
