Salam,
The 2nd one has a good quality silver scabbard but the hilt seems to be white metal. Odd combo yep? I thought maybe the hilt isnt authentic to the scabbard but it fits very well.. could be made for it later? The 2nd one is Saudi craftmanship. There are variant examples and soon I will be sharing a research about them... |

Salaam Ibrahim.
If the bristles on the brush are fine then I can see its use. Toothpaste? - now that makes sense. I thought you were talking about a different type of past. Lot of merit with toothpaste to get rid of tough tarnish, dirt and corrosion. Simple tarnish that is brown or lighter - polishing cloth is all you need. For example I could see toothpaste as an answer to the deeper black tarnish of the first example. |

Oh yes, regarding the mixing and matching of white metal hilt with a silver scabbard - would the scabbard or the hilt be of an earlier period? Otherwise I would consider this a strange combo.

Good idea. I always advise that.
