My first MANDAU

I AGREE WITH DAJAK AND DON'T CLEAN THE HANDLE AS THAT SUBSTANCE (WHATEVER IT MAY BE) IS ORIGINAL TO THE PIECE AND PUT THERE BY THE MAKER OR PREVIOUS OWNER. THE SWORD HAS SOME AGE AND USE AND WAS NOT MADE FOR THE TOURIST TRADE AND IS A GOOD EXAMPLE OF THE TYPE. TOO BAD THERE IS NOT A SCABBARD BUT AT LEAST YOU GOT THE SIDE KNIFE. CONGRADULATIONS ON A GOOD START BUT YOU HAD BETTER HAVE DEEP POCKETS IF YOU PLAN ON COLLECTING THESE

GOOD LUCK
