Can't wait to see it when you've worked your magic on it Tim .

As two bits of brass foil inlay are left, I will just leave it for now but I will probably add more in the not too distant future. We have found one thing, the inlay does not have to be precious metals or ivory and so on.

Well done, Tim! Very nice

WOOW!!!

Beautiful work Tim!!!

Still if i look at the blade, Pedang comes up. Is it a pamor blade, Tim? Philipine origin is possible, but still.........

Thanks Henk, easy when you have rolling mills. It looks better now that the glue has set. I have been able to dent and mark the inlay a little, I will show latter when I have time. As to the blade, I cannot tell the difference between fancy folded steel or folded up steel from what ever came to hand or pamor. Judging by the lack of fine finishing, polishing and so on. That and the rather crude screw in the bow I just assumed it was "Indios" rural production?

Nice. I'm impressed, the type of work that should be done on these old blades. Restoration & not artistic licence to embellish.
