I should have the last few pics of this when I get the top scabbard fitting back tommorow from the restorer ( I have done everything but I could not make and solder the new silver chain fitting).

I can really enjoy this now and am planning on keeping it for the rest of my life!, in restoring it I dont want to pull the wool over anyones eyes and sell it. That is why I have posted it all here and kept 100s of pictures of the work as well as a written record of the techniques used.
