Thanks for the complete example Shahrial. Doesn't look so shabby when we see the original form.

Thanks Sharial for the better example of this type selut.

Indeed these are settings, only one has a red stone and the others are deformed or missing. It also looks like someone has applied gold coloured paint to my selut.

I will see if it is possible to restore the selut.
Heating the complete selut in order to weld on new settings will probably destroy the thing.
But maybe a loose ring with settings can be made.
Will be quite some work, but the blade and hilt are worth it.

Thanks and best regards,
Willem
