Salaams LostDutchman ~ I sent you two references to look at from your last Tulvar input... did you get a look at them? Forum library contains a resource far in exceess of the general Internet. In addition hidden within these pages are members who have forgotten more than I know about Indian weaponry through the ages... Your idea about not messing with antiquity ie restoration is well accepted, however, I have to say a light clean up with a weak solution of vinegar(and wash down thoroughly with hot soapy water afterwards..and dry ~ "might" brighten up this piece. It could help reveal what is under the corrosion. It would look nice with its corresponding shield and scabbard. Thanks for posting. will I get a reply this time?
