What a beautiful Visayan knife Robert! I am green with envy! The pommel and ferrule seems to my eyes also Visayan so I think that the complete knife is in all parts original. It would be easy to make two new small brass rings between the two horn plates. Never before I have seen such a Visayan knife.
When you plan to make this two rings please post pictures when you have finished the work.
Best regards,
Detlef
