I would like to remind EVERYONE interested and involved in this thread of the OP's original intent, to get
helpful ideas for the restoration of his sword, an inquiry which i do not believe was EVER properly addressed before it became hijacked as an extension on the Omani Dance Sword thread arguments. I would suggest that this is therefore NOT the place to continue what seems to be the never ending battle between certain parties over the existence of straight battle swords vs. flexible dance swords and that continuing along those lines is only likely to bring this thread to the same tragic end as the now infamous dance sword thread.
So, can anyone help Kubur with his restoration questions.
