Thankyou both for your replies.

Detlef, would the scabbard bands originally have been metal (brass/silver) or rattan?

I think that it has had once brass bands. The patina shadows on the scabbard seems to confirm my guess.

Default Restored

Here are a couple of photos after Robert has performed yet another sterling restoration: closing a crack in the hilt and adding replacement scabbard bands.

Stunning different! But the real skill is to close a crack in horn!

Beautiful looking golok you have now Russel after Robert has had his magic hands on it, congrats!

Cheers,
Detlef
