The ivory pommel though I would have liked to restore, as I hate to see recent break offs at old pieces. Than better have it restored well.
If a break off is very old and shows old patination of use and handling, I would prefer to keep it original instead of a restoration.
Hi Maurice,

oh, I am a native german! But like you said before, it will be a matter of personal taste! I think it is just a cord wrapping, nobody will see from whom it's done!
Agree with you about the ivory, when it will be an old patinated break I also wouldn't care it but a so recent break is disturbing IMHO.

Regards,
Detlef
