Help needed with Tulwar.

[Pukka Bundook]

Thank you for the words of confidence. It appears some have more confidence in my ability to put it right, than I have!

Robert,
I know it looks like sand-blasting. but on the pommel disc, there is some silver koftgari remaining, and this is still smooth, whilst the steel around it is pitted like the rest of the sword. Therfore iI can only think it was a pretty savage acid that was used.
