Lot of questions and answers. thanks in advance.
- The wrapping of the sheath is intact, I will try to make some pictures in focus.
- The hilt and pendokok/selut are completely tight on the blade, no movement at all. considering the material of the hilt I am somewhat reluctant to try and get it loose. any suggestions ?
- the selut looks like solid gold, and the the mountings on the scabbard maybe gold on silver. I will go and see a goldsmith to be sure on that.
- as for the composite suggestion. it might be, but than before 1940.
and certainly not with the poorest of materials.
