guys - this bayo is in amazing shape - everything is nearly "new."

a re-plate, re-leather, re-grip???

I should say there are no marks (not unusual the wonks say) and that the rivets are slightly buggered. just an amazing example. I love the thing, but...

thanks for all comments!

the scabbard has an old-looking and dusty wood liner. I can't find any info on replicas fakes so...... I'm getting to feel it's perfectly ok only it's been in the proverbial Time Capsule.

but again, please chime in!

I can post more pix.....
