Kai, I made a quick close-up also of a part of the fiber cord that are attached to the crosspiece and the ratan binding, cause on the other images this is hard to see.

Hello Maurice,

Kai, I made a quick close-up also of a part of the fiber cord that are attached to the crosspiece and the ratan binding, cause on the other images this is hard to see.

Thanks, I think we can toss this out as a non-traditional approach (Moro or otherwise): Too weak to be of any value in a humid climate...

Same-o with the iron nails.

Regards,
Kai

Hello Kai,

Thank you, I think you are right about that, so now we cleared that up it is easy to repair the crosspiece to the lower scabbardpiece. With 2 copper/brass bands, 3 cm wide...

Kind Regards,
Maurice
