A PRETTY LITTLE DAGGER.

IT SHOULD BE EASY TO GET REPLACEMENT STONES FOR THE TURQUOISE STONES WHICH ARE THE MOST NUMEROUS. THERE IS ONE CORAL MISSING THAT MAY BE MORE DIFFICULT TO MATCH PERHAPS A PIECE FROM SOME OLD JEWLRY CAN BE FOUND. BE SURE THEY DON'T USE THE HEAVLY DYED RED CORAL STUFF COMING OUT OF CHINA, IT WILL NOT LOOK RIGHT AND IT WILL STAIN EVERYTHING RED.

I FOUND IT ODD THAT ON THE HANDLE THERE WERE ONLY 4 CORAL STONES WHERE IT LOOKS A BIT OUT OF BALANCE WITH ONLY ONE STONE OF WHAT APPEARS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A PAIR NEAR THE BLADE. PERHAPS IT HAD SONETHING TO DO WITH THE WAY IT WAS CARRIED. THE TWO DARK REDISH STONES APPEAR TO BE GARNETT THE TWO PINK STONES

I HAVE NO IDEA. I HOPE A SUITABLE MATCH FOR THE PINK STONES CAN BE FOUND FOR THE ONE THAT IS MISSING. GOOD LUCK ON AN INTERESTING PROJECT.
