Looking for a sword smith

[FRANKEIGHT]

Old items like that are best left unrestored to retain their value. If it turns out to be not as valuable as you thought then you may consider restoring it mainly to keep as a conversation piece. I'd definitely get it looked at by someone that knows old swords. Try looking online and even if they are across the country, you can take pics and email them for initial thoughts and research.

british blade forum.com has amilitary and historical division if you dont want to write to wilkinsons
