I found on the web where to buy the wax. The shipping (to Italy) will take time, however, listening to Your advice, I 'll only apply the wax on the hilt, hoping to score well.
Thank You for Your help Paolo |

I applied Renaissance wax on the horn hilt. Really satisfied about the effect!
Thank You Paolo |

Here are the pics, the best I can do with a rainy day. Also attached two close up of the wootz (?) blade, not too contrasting, but is the first one I etched by myself.

Hi Battara,
for etch the blade, I used ferric chloride diluted in three parts of distilled water to one FeCl. I used 1000 waterproof abrasive paper and also heated the blade before apply with a brush the liquid. I repeated more times the treatment, but what You see in the pics is the better I got. Where I was wrong ? Paolo |
