Nope !
Not Nepal neither ............

Staid old New England where my ancestors fled to from Leiden so many years ago .

A lucky cell call from a friend who was out doing the weekend yard sales with his Wife .
Lor' luv 'im .

Ahhh, to clean, or not to clean ...

Put lanolin on the horn scales , there is crude decoration on the bolsters .
If I take it too far I'm afraid I'll lose the 'funk' of this one . It's not every day that you get to see the Poor Folks' version of this kind of form .

This is not wootz we're talking here ... more like a Villager or Drover's daily carry .

Anyone up for resto and recovering the scabbard in the traditional way ??
For short money ?????????
