My new Luzon sword

[Sajen]

Thank you very much Robert! Any guess how this sword would be called?

Best regards,

Detlef

Here some first pictures after I have received it and after some maintain. The two pieces of the scabbard was hold together by a silver band in up and by tape in down. Could it be that the silver band in up is original and four others are missing? The front piece of the scabbard is indeed from beautiful grained kamagong wood. The blade is cleaned, now I have to work at the scabbard.

I love the way you brought out the beauty of the scabbard.
Good job on the blade.

Thank you! The wood was cleaned, polished and waxed. The cleaning of the blade was a hard job since the blade was heavily corroded but only superficial.

Best,

Hello Detlef, Could you possibly show a photo of the end of the hilt so it can be seen if the tang on this sword goes completely through the hilt and is then peened over or not? It would help in trying to put a name and location of manufacture to this piece.

Best,
Robert

My mistake that I don't show or mentioned it before! The tang don't go through the hilt.

Only want to give a update of the restore work. I have replaceded most of the missing brass inlays at the scabbard. The one in up is still missing. Next step will be to replace the two missing silver bands and the silver end cap.
