What is this?

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.

The glue is no more secure than the original.
