In response to your comments about the Enamel, I fail to understand where you are coming from when you say it is a “high wear area”. The enamel is facing outwards on the sword and so would not come into contact with the wearer at all. I think you also need to take into consideration the strength of enamel and the fact that the very small area you are referring to is actually recessed with the runes sitting proud. The hilt on the other hand obviously stands proud and is therefore much more prone to knocks and scratches, you will (or may)be aware, it is made from solid nickel which is a relatively soft metal.<O

As for the reason it hasn’t sold, well I don’t need to think too deeply about that one, especially when I have people like yourself making inaccurate observations. As you said yourself, you haven’t “made a career” out of studying these swords (you mend watches) but yet you bandy around your misguided and un-qualified opinions. If you had had the common courtesy to notify me when you originally made your comments, I would have been able to put them to bed there and then.
