Kampilan un-restored

Hello Bill,

I suppose, these are later (not recent) add-ons. This seems to be a hilt that originally came without an "eye" AFAIK.

I'd remove the active rust...

Regards,
Kai

I agree with the rest. Great hilt, but that blade needs work. At the very least the active rust should be removed.

I'd have to see what sort of pattern was hiding under there.

This looks like the same rig.

I certainly agree with stopping any active rust, but I don't want to take it any further. I feel like keeping this pieces un-restored. Some of mine are a bit over-cleaned.

I have seen cogs like this on other kampilan pieces. When a coin is not available......
