My final vote is : 1886 Company Officers Army Parade Sabre. The stippled backstrap with Kadosakura and leaves in the upper panel and the arrangement of the sakura in the pierced handguard lead me to this conclusion. Got run now and go to a crawfish boil Zach

Thanks for the info.

What is a fair price to ask when I place it on Estand?

The blade is nice... but... the very tip is chipped.

The scabbard looks slightly warped..... but.. the blade is okay.

There is a crack or two in the handle.

I would be happy with $175 for myself... after all shipping and fees.

Thanks
