Guys,

Looking for opinions on this one:

Does the blade blue panel look off ?

I do not like this blue color from these pics.

[Wim Vangossum]

Indeed on the pictures the bleu tint doesn't match the correct blued color for these swords but is that because of the picture or not?

Looks black to my eyes not blue like this one for sale

Darkened a little with patina and photo quality

This sword has been seen by Jason B. & Tom W. 100 percent original. Blade does have a little patina & pictures are only so good .

Also not liking the darker appearance, the type of lighting has sometimes really interfered with making a good assessment for the blued panel type of blades and some other blued period items. Especially in some exhibition halls/venues it was so bad that it was impossible - and the item had to be taken out into daylight/natural lighting to get an accurate look. FP

This sword is fine; I've seen the bluing.
