wow. is it really so interesting? thanks a lot. i was thinking of restoring it with low grade silver or brass cheaply and to resell as i paid something even less than that costs for the cheapest types of original kinjals. so perhaps i must consider its value on a different scale and keep it for myself after restoring it with walrus, as even just that bottom mounting alone would cost twice of the amount i gave for the sword itself, if made from walrus . Or original decorated silver mountings , if I can find a spare set in market,would be ok too. And the hanger loop is carved from single piece ivory .no metal inside.
