Here the first step of restoration. The hilt have got new "eyes", two 20 Centavos coins from 1916/1918 and the blade a decent clean from rust. The inlays at the tip of the blade are from copper and brass. Next step will be that the handle will get new hair. I have got white goat hair. What you will do? Shall I let the hair white or shall I give the hair a coloration and when yes which colour?
Regards,
Detlef
