A possibly rehandled klewang

THE HANDLE MAY BE HORN RATHER THAN WOOD AND LIKELY WAS ORIGINAL TO THE BLADE. THESE OLD PARMOR BLADES ARE OFTEN THIN AND BRITTLE AND I HAVE OFTEN WONDERED HOW THEY WOULD HOLD UP IN USE EITHER FOR WORK OR WAR. I HAVE SOME WHERE ONLY A SHARD OF THE BLADE REMAINS. I DON'T KNOW WHAT EFFECT GOOF OFF OR OTHER GOO REMOVERS WOULD HAVE PERHAPS IT MIGHT BE GENTLY SCRAPED OFF OR TRY SOME MINERAL OIL ON IT FIRST. GOOD LUCK
