There's a nice and quaint little antiques market in Islington called Camden passage. You might end up buying a dagger or an antique sword from one of the shops there. Happy hunting!

Would it be possible for you to give me a summary of how you restored the gunong? I have one that barely escaped the bombing in Marawi and is just sitting inside my desk drawer. Big thanks in advance
