Hi guys. Sorry it took so long to get back. With a 16x loop, and bright sunlight, I finally managed to find a small window of end grain. According to all images I have seen, the hilt of the black Pesh-kabz, is Rhino. There is also a small window of side grain, that looks right. Unable to take decent photos, with my limited equipment, and abilities. The blade does have a visible wootz pattern. Without etching, there is no visible wootz on any other blade. The brown handle on one of the military swords, is unfortunately, wood. But, I believe that it is the original hilt. What is the preferred etching medium? It seems everyone likes something different. And, what is the preferred technique.
