Kattara restoration

[Kubur]

Dear All,
I just came back from a long trip.
I'm really sorry that my innocent question brought such quarrels.
Thank you very much ALL and A special thanks to Ibrahiim.

I have two news.

First the blade is hard, not flexible.
Old with a very good patina
sharp also, I'm not an expert but I think that it's a perfect sword for fight.
with a very good balance

second, i was wrong the hilt is not plain wood
but covered with a thick and hard brown leather

in fact this sword is absolutely amazing
and i wont do anything on it...

Again thank you all and really sorry for the strong and different opinions expressed here... The more important is to stay between gentlemen.

Salaams Kubur, Thank you for your encouraging words. Whilst this is not a competition I believe it would be honourable to wait a week or so before I re enter this discussion which will allow time for a full reflection on the terms this sword appears to be suggesting. I look forward to the details which I suggest will be heavily weighted from my viewpoint on this being a European rehilt. If possible I would ask if the hilt can be x-rayed... I have a good friend who is a VET with a portable x-ray machine... perhaps you know someone ..It will determine if the tang has been altered.
Regards,
Ibrahiim al Balooshi.
