So I’m guessing in the 4000 range 

Now I’m thinking was it all worth it ?
Did you put it back in the original scabbard after polish or had a new one made?

"Worth it?"  That is the eternal question, but it is only answered by you.  If you are a buyer/seller, then at today's prices, you'll lose money.  But if it's your sword to care for?  You bet it's worth it.  I really hesitated on the decision to polish mine.  Do I keep it in the "life of the blade" condition, with all it's obvious use, wear, scratches, age?  Or do I make it beautiful?  Both cases have merit.  I chose to polish, and quite glad I did.  All the rest of my swords are in the condition I got them, though.

I see what you mean I may only need a Finnish polish that would save more money 

But I believe it’s a rare sword and is worth it to me 

I didn’t mean to bring this up where everyone will see my discussion Now I bet i get a lot of criticism I already got 2 down votes when I asked what you spent on your sword
