Do you base patterns and decoration of missing silver on other items from the same culture or its all based on taste?

Yes that Kurdish khanjar was something I thought I could attempt if the price was right.
Another good question: I do as much research as possible to base my work. For example, on Moro pieces I try to do the work based on the work and motifs of the particular tribe a kris comes from. On the Scottish sgian dubh I carved (wood and silver work) the knotwork based on Celtic knotwork one on others like it (see below).
Again thank you folks very much!
