Thank you Paul! I am no way a skillful photographer. I think it was just luck. I only remeber that I did not use any flash and the weather was cloudy. I also think that the greenish-honey colored velvet, the green leather scabbard, the portepee with it�s brown stripes and the green/brown leather accoutrement do additional effects.
This CuJ is (together with my EICKHORN DJ) one of my most appreciated daggers.
