David ,
Thank you for youre photo,s , nice repair!
Mr Maisey,
Because english is not my native languege a question abouth the damp cloth , is what u mean with it, a cloth that is heated in a steamer untill its hot ? Sorry for this strange question
This kind of wood , is it used on the older style wranka,s or the more youner one,s ?
If it is a ""tourist"" wranka i wont repair it.
About the mendak , i did try to clean it and there is a little shine maybe it will turn up as a silver one but first i have to work on the hilt to get it loose.
Regards,
Danny
