Restoration service available somewhere??

W7MEV · 9th October 2005, 08:17 AM

I have 2 wavy blade kerises (how DO you make that plural!?), 1 straight blade, and 1 2-handed battle sword which a great-uncle brought back from the PI after Spanish American War. Hilt wrappings deteriorated on wavy blades and all 4 need cleaned up and de-rusted. Don't see inlay on the kerises, but see what looks like inlay on the 2-hander. I am seeking a source where I can get the weapons restored - hilts re-wrapped, blades cleaned, chain mail replaced on the 2-hander,etc. Any suggestions as to whom these blades can be entrusted for such restoration?

Not to tute my own horn (well maybe

) but I do restoration on this very type of thing, and have made a chain-maille maker for my Moro armor. Here is a link to see examples of the silver work and wood work I do:

I have also done work for some of the folks on this forum (thank you all

). You can check some of the work on this forum as well.

Actually, i believe the proper plural of the word keris is keris. Sorta like the word fish.
