we could speack in italian but for respect to the other people in this forum is good speack in english :wink:

the pieces are silvered and is not a "flash" sivering but very good tickness of silver in fact when some years ago I started to do the silvering of the scabbards i gived to the silver good tickness because my swords are not for collectors but for reenactors that have to use and if you put only a few of silver after some time the silver go away.in my scabbards there is really a small sheet of silver and you can live your scabbard under the hurrican...that the silver don't go away.

the problem is tht in last year the silver is grown up whit price,if one year ago costed 1,today cost 2.

I use a galvanic firm that do for me very good price..if you whant more information please contact me in privat.

PS compliment for your casting work..are masterpieces
