Hello,

following discussion on http://www.myArmoury.com/talk/viewtopic.php?t=28242 - here´re first photos of making of this sword from Solingen museum.

Inscription is etched, ornaments decorated with gold. I neither etched nor gold-plated before, it´s first try.

Great work, congratulations! I especially like how the pommel is decorated.
Do you plan to make scabbard for it as well?

Very cool! I think the pommel and guard look great! The gold looks terrific! Great job.

Thanks guys!
Just some proportions: overall length: 88 cm, blade length: 75 cm, blade width: 5 cm, PoB: 18 cm, weight: 1.18 kg.
I plan to make scabbard from dark brown leather with wooden core.
