is this a tombak

I had another of these about 20+ years ago, that I sold.... something I regret now, that had a silver mount below the blade, and a rather short stave or shaft.
A certain amount of my current buying is replacing stuff sold during periods of poverty, though lack of knowledge about a piece was another factor. The internet makes a big difference nowadays.

Well this is the first iteration of using "Evaporust" which has done just what it says on the bottle. I would like some pointers as to where I go from here.... this is definitely a pamor or laminated blade. It also has a "silver disk/ring
" between the base of the blade and the ferrule.
