No, I have never seen anything like it.
It makes me think of celtic decorations. An interesting cross cultural link If you compare the blade with the carved inside of the scabbard, is it a perfect fit ? Sometimes the exact outlines of the blade are followed on the inside of the scabbard. Best regards, Willem |

Detlef, I bet that bamboo reinforcement at the edge can be restored. I am sure Arjan would know.

First is the backside of the scabbard in very bad shape and since blade and scabbard don't belong together I am unsure what I will do with the parts!? Make a nice display for the front panel? Would mean to destroy the rotan binding. To restore the scabbard is a challenge in my eyes, and no fitting blade? I am more as unsure. Regards, Detlef |
