Sewar reconstruction and restoration

GIO · 16th July 2021, 06:09 PM

I have purchased this sewar months ago. It had missing parts and rusted blade. It took me long time to obtain this unpretentious result. I hope I will be more experienced next time....

Great job!

But why two threads?

That's a good question. I would recommend that one of the Ethno Mods combine these two threads.

Thanks for rescuing this nice piece, Gio!

You have a west coast scabbard and added an east coast foot. I'd suggest you keep it for another project and replace it with a simple foot as seen with these west coast scabbards. Just my 2 cents.

Regards,
Kai

Because I am not familiar with the procedure of how to manage attachments.

Hello GIO,

Kai is correct, this style of sewars have a simple scabbard toe like by this examples from old threads.
Otherwise a great restore job!

Detlef

Everything you need to know is in the sticky thread on the Ethno page. Please don’t hesitate to ask if you are still confused.
