Detlef: The bands are silver. It's hard to say if there was a piece of silver around the pommel. Usually you can see a color difference where there was something laid on top of something else, but i can't see any color difference here. Albert: I think you might be right. after looking at it a little closer it does indeed look to be a mostly clean split except where you highlighted. No, we didn't go to the Reno show, although looking back i kinda wish we did. Did Lee and John have any good moro stuff? David: Again it's hard to say if there was a strip that covered the split. The patina looks the same on the ivory so it's really hard to tell if it was covered..........Dave.
