Hi Maurice,

unusual piece, never seen such a handle by a sekin.

But I would call it as well as sekin, maby other origin?

TLC...on the silver one I would suggest at least an oiling of the blade to remove as much light rust as possible, and some ammonia and a soft brush to remove the unsightly old polish residue on the scabbard.

Hi Marcus,

no, I think it's a little bit unusual sewar. Unusual because the file work at the base of the blade. Handle and scabbard are typical for a sewar.

Yes, this I have meant. And the handle of the sekin could use some oiling.
