This was posted here a few years ago but it just came to me on the weekend. I took new photos as I might list it for trade for a 44, which is what I am collecting. The flower is apparently some sort of rejection marking.
Yes a nice rejected piece, we had it here some years ago, the frog was reshaped with secure strap, is interesting piece with RBNr across lenght, the ab 43 was 9194 in first time serialed.Dont forget to remove finger prints from pommel area.b.r.Andy
Yes, was shown here a few years ago by my friend. I just figured some new photos would be good as I’m offering for trade. Oiled it all up after pics when it went on the shelf.
