Closeups of the hilt. It may be antler, but there's very little core I can see. I'd be interested in which type it is.

Had to compress the files. Hopefully they're still clear enough.

Of the blades, I did. I can of the cape gun if you wish.

What style of scabbard? I can get kalantas wood.

Easily done. How dark an etch? Barely enough to show the pattern, gray, or black? I also have ferric chloride, Belgian blueing and other acids.

This was my last restoration. 200 years old. Still...

Thanks for the info. It appears it was dark at one point, but doesn't appear it was etched, just darkened with age. What is the proper finish?

Can you please clarify terminology as you go? I know little on this particular era.

That spot appears to just be pitting. There are a couple of other spots down the blade.

Thanks for the welcomes and info.

Should I attempt to remove the repousse sleeve and desolder the hanger? I know it's not original, but I am reluctant to apply heat without knowing the alloy.
