Hi Maurice,

unusual piece, never seen such a handle by a sekin. But I would call it as well as sekin, maby other origin?

Regards,
Detlef

TLC...on the silver one I would suggest at least an oiling of the blade to remove as much light rust as possible, and some ammonia and a soft brush to remove the unsightly old polish residue on the scabbard.

Yes, this I have meant. And the handle of the sekin could use some oiling.
