Hi Everyboby,
Thanks for the replay,s on the wood!
I did clean the hilt a little better and it has a nice old patin.
About the strip , it,s from wood , i thougt it was turtle when i saw it for sale.. but the wood looks nice also.
About the pendok, i think it might be oxadation after all, i did try to clean it with alcohol but it stays the same , so i,m not sure what to do , clean it of or leave it like this , if it is kind of polish/lacker i prefer to let it on .
But i.m not sure , please advice ??
Sorry Willem
Regards,
Danny
