Sudan arm dagger restore or not?

Hi
What's the plan as I cant see how the piece of ivory will be big enough for the job at hand
I found a hand fret saw is very good at cutting ivory with minimal wastage.
Regards

Richard G,

I can see where you are going. The symbol after the first "3" is merely a slash to separate the year from the month and likewise, the symbol after the second "3" is a slash that separates the month from the day. I will keep this in mind for the future.

Sincerely,
RobT

Hi Ken

I made a mould out of cardboard and am going to cut it out with a scroll saw for model making. the ivory bird is slightly thicker than the part to be repaired.
i will fill the cracks with ivory powder and glue and touch up.

Best regards
Marc
