Jose, Thank you for the photo showing how the copper and silver banding was constructed as well as the before photo. Now another question, are the copper bands solid, seamed or overlapped and either folded or nailed? When looking how the wood is a much larger diameter on the end were the tang is inserted into the hilt, it makes me wonder how they would have been put into position if they are solid.

Best,
Robert
