Thanks for the nice comments

I didn't think about the plate in the handle until later. I put nickel silver in the order for the plate, but it seems whiter than the nickel silver and matches the silver well. I may have the hilt and butt cap engraved with dog paw/wolf tracks but I was going to leave the plate blank for now.
From my understanding the silver is soft compared to brass and nickel silver, so it could get dinged up if a user, so it will stay a safe queen. I have other RBS that I can take to the field.
