Sir James, thanks- it did, made it much more attractive w/out actually doing too much to the sword itself- other than touching up the blade and doing a new wrap on the grip.
Ulrich, send him an email, his name is Jon Sarge- he's a good guy, customer-oriented so he's open to whatever you want. If he can do it, he'll tell you so and likewise, if he can't, he'll let you know that too.
He could definitely re-wrap your scabbard if you were so inclined, and set up a suspension rig to integrate with it, giving it a much more historic appearance than a frog, or the double-wrap belt you have. He can also rewrap the grip if you wanted and he's got a pretty good choice of colors that you can have for your scabbard, belt and grip. He could even do an under the leather decoration, like a cross- or he can tool or stamp one (or more) wherever you want them. In fact, he may have some suggestions- consider them, he knows what he's talkin about.
