The specialist needs more information

Dear Evan,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry and my apologies for the delay. So that I may best assist you, can you please upload detailed and focused images of the blade and the etchings on it? The quality of the steel of the blade an important argument for dating and estimation. Thank you for your help.

With kind regards,
Georg
