I think, you are right. The handle of the old sword was painted and it got the new scabbard, but the result is quite pleasing and artistically nice. The refitting was made some dozens of years ago, since the fittings have visible signs of wear.

Hi Tatyana,
I would agree with you about the dating of the scabbard and painting. Can you see if the handle is from wood or horn?
A nice pedang anyway, I like it!
