First cleaning photos. Blade only.
As suggested, it was performed with toothpicks, thin oil, very fine wire wool and emery. Although there is quite a bit of the silver missing, no more came out while I was cleaning. I am pleased with the results so far and will continue when I get more time. Regards Roy |

Wow, awesome piece! Thanks for sharing. One of the best looking Krises I've seen in here.

I have used Old English Furniture Oil on my ivory pieces for many years.
It will really bring out the natural colors of the ivory. It also works well on horn and antler. Don't use it on bone though, as it imparts a greasy look to the material........Dave |
