Hello Thomas.
I must say that the result is nice and the sumara looks very good now it is cleaned. the blade is also very nice. do you have some more pictures of the blade.
But if I understand well, you removed the original old tin foil ?
From historical view that is a bit of a pity.
I see that the sikin panjang on the first 2 pictures has some silver foil on the scabbard.
Just give me a PM when you decide to scratch that of
A serious question : can you post the sikin handle in the "aceh crowns" thread ?
