Thanks for the alert, Ian.
I will skip over the jelly number.
Thank you for the options Rick.
I think i will follow the polishing procedure, or as many steps i can come through.
Etching will wait for the next stage, if it will be worth doing it.
As for the handle, one of my coleagues at work has agreed to make a replica in the factory lathe. Pitty the original brass collar is not solid enough to dismount and fit onto the new grip.
Thanks again
PS
Do you think you could atribute an aprox. age to this blade?
