The parcel has arrived - at the time you indicated.
The sword lives up to expectations and looks even better than on the website. The detail and etching is superb.
Thanks so much for your help and the extra information.

Yes, arrived safe and sound, very nice, and very interesting. Have a couple of friends in the States slavering over the pictures, one of them loves searching old lists, etc. If I can tie it down more definitely will let you know.
