Default Tenegre Hilt

Greetings folks,

I was asked to restore this Tenegre hilt. I was so taken with its beauty that I had to post so that we can have an archive of this older type of hilt.

The hilt is black wood (probably kamagong) with most of the silver missing or partially present and broken. Many of the brass and silver nails were missing as well. Here is the piece as I got it:
