Hi everyone.
I want to share with you a restoration that I have made at my workshop.It is an Ottoman pala owned from a friend of mine so some points at the parts that I have made are his own taste.To strat this thread of course I have his permission so I would like to hear your thoughts.
I will show all the steps of the resoration.

Here is the Pala at the start.As you see the scabbard and the qillions are in bad condition.The only parts that I have kept are the woods at the scabbard,
the horn plates at the grip,the side strap at the grip and of course the blade.
