Denny, I would love to get it tagged but when I saw the price, I changed my mind.
Thanks again for the positive comments.
Tom, would there be a way for me to tell if it is brass base or not ?
The reason as to why I'm assuming that it is brass base, is simply because it has a very early tappered tang, early crossguard and scabbard's fittings, and the "patina" ain't really black ( like showned on the pictures ) but trully blued like and very shinny.
I do have other armies (mid-period) in my collection with heavy black patina and the coloration and texture isn't the same at all.
Will try and take better pics of the top pommel and crossguard later on.
Perhaps, this will help you and others, to determine if it is brass base or not.
Thanks for your help.
Cheers !
