Very excited about this super find from eBay in Spain, was getting worried, but this Palmera 14 finally arrived, huge blade, can see what I think is some type of "hamon" line, probably it's bellied grind which I can feel but not necessarily see, and these original scales appear to be made of wood, one pin scale, very solidly built, going to hit it with some sandpaper, start at 800 grit and there's more staining it seems than actual rust.
Will be cleaning this up tonight and trying to hit the hones by tomorrow.
