Thanks for the ID! Would you consider this a rarer than usual piece have not seen many Baule swords or daggers around?

Flavio
There are a few tacks missing which I can replace the question is should I restore it or just leave it be? Lew Last edited by LOUIEBLADES; 12th January 2009 at 07:20 PM. |

Lew,
I think it's better you leave as it is, it's a very nice sword and quite rare and some tacks missing aren't a big problem for the general beauty of this piece. Instead I was thinking about the blade, from pics seems a little rusty, just a little

Congratulation, this is very nice sword (Baule). The sheath is, unfortunately, later addition but never mind, this soword is rare.
