Khyber Knife Restoration

Greetings folks!

Thought I would share with you a restoration I did on a khyber knife. What is unusual about this is the fact that it has a chased silver hilt. Only seen one other one and it is in a museum.

What I did was to replace the missing beaded silver rivets on the sides. These were based on the indentations around the holes where the originals were. I also made the finial pommel ring out of silver. Finally, I cleaned up the silver a little.

Below are before restoration pictures.

Enjoy!
