Will be a joy to clean up the blade, wont it?!

Best greets, Wouter

Hi Wouter,

thank you for comment. Yes, may be simple but I think when the wood have received a little oil polish, the blade will be cleaned up (with very dirty fingers ), the missing brass inlays at the scabbard are replaced and the brass is just a little bit (not shiny) polished it will look much better.
I am not sure if the scabbard is the original one since the one from Robert have this beautiful leather one. But think like you that it could be from kamagong.

Best,

Detlef
