Restoration Balkan yatagan
 

I want to show the restoration of the balkan yatagan. I shall show pictures tomorrow before I recover it.

Here are photos before recovery.

I have only one to say: wow!
Incredible.
On Pictures it is unrecognisanke from pristine and untouched museum piece.

Excellent restoration bobi13! You have returned it to its former state as faithfully as anyone could.

Thank you, Ian, and everyone else.
Here are pictures of the restoration of another yatagan with silver.

Here are the photos after his recovery.

Good repair job. Did you have to weld or braze the tang back onto the blade?

Congratulations on an excellent job!

Restoring an antique piece not only takes skill and time, but also takes passion. And I can see you put a lot in your work.

Congratulations for your amazing work! :)

Such artistic skills like yours are so rare these days.

Are you also accepting to do restoration works on commission? I am sure that many of us could need your help.

Yes, I had to weld it to the blade.

I work mostly my subjects. I rarely have to work other subjects. if I can help, I will help.

Just to get ahead of any problem ...
 

Guys:

Questions about commissioning restoration work for specific items are best taken to PM or email. I do agree that Bobi13's restoration skills are remarkable based on the work shown here.

Thanks,

Ian.

I am glad to see that you are doing this work, your skills are on a high level.

Excellent work, and very informative pictures. Thank you.
