If the rencong was mine, then would leave it like this.
You'll always see the restored parts.... and it is not restoring but replacing.

A good point John. I am working on the scabbard now, but for the crowns, we'll see. I will certainly let the rest go and go no further.

Hello John, (and Erik and Karel)

I like the website a lot.
Nice updates the last 2 weeks.
A pitty for non dutch forumites. But even then , the pictures are great too

Best regards,
Willem

Well just took the piece to a jeweler friend of mine and he too is of the opinion that it would be best to leave it alone.

I will leave it alone and just work on making a scabbard for it.

Well here is it: the scabbard. May one day when gold has dropped and I have the money (

) I may get the rest of the gold work on the tip done.

Until then enjoy.

Years later, here is the scabbard I made for it. Just now getting around to posting. One day I may restore the gold and enamel end myself. That will be years from now though. I need to teach myself better engraving first (in my spare time

).

Teaching myself how to carve the way they did for these scabbards, I did the carvings and the silver bands. I decided to cover the ivory in black acrylic paint - looks better to me.
