And again a kris!

Thank you Jose. I was only wondering because some of the silver inlay that I have seen has had that dead dull look to it like easy silver solder gets if left exposed to the air for too long. I imagine that it might have been a silver alloy of some type that had been used in the inlay on those pieces. Again, wonderful work.
Detlef, your good catch has now been transformed into a great one that I and I am sure many others as well would love to have for their own collections. Congratulations for being able to see past the damage, and for having this sword given the respect, care and attention that it was earlier denied.

Best,
Robert
