Thank you Ian.
And agree with you that it will be one of the numerous characters of the Thai Ramayama figures, hopefully I will find out one day which one.

My first concern will be the blade and I think that I am on a good way to let look it nice again. The seller is situated in Danmark so it was shipped direct to Germany but maybe I will send it one day to the States that he can do his skilled work on the handle to close the crack.
Like you I think it's worth the effort.
Best regards,
