Awesome Rick, thanks. I was going crazy trying to figure it out. At work, it's no problem.
OK, let's try this again. Hopefully I got it right. Appreciate the patience. |

Interesting piece. Missing the hair,the eyes, and the staple (perhaps on both sides of crossguard). A good polish would bring out the silver inlay. Brass chased cap on the middle of the crossguard is unusual and nice. May be laminated. Probably Maranao tribe. Congrats!

thanks, I'm quite pleased.
yes, the brass plate is certainly a plus and a surprise. I got this on Craigslist and the pics did not display enough detail. "with great risk comes great reward!" I already have plans to replace the hair and am considering the staple. Haven't settled on a full cleaning of the blade or just minor. the possible lamination may decide that

Congrats, nice kamp! After some restore work it will look great. I also like the plate.

I think the blade will show a few nice surprises if fully cleaned. I look forward to your finished touches. Gav |

OK, here's a few pics after my initial "soft touch" cleanup. Only used mild oil on the handle and blade.
