Detlef: The bands are silver. It's hard to say if there was a piece of silver around the pommel. Usually you can see a color difference where there was something laid on top of something else, but i can't see any color difference here. Albert: I think you might be right. after looking at it a little closer it does indeed look to be a mostly clean split except where you highlighted. No, we didn't go to the Reno show, although looking back i kinda wish we did. Did Lee and John have any good moro stuff? David: Again it's hard to say if there was a strip that covered the split. The patina looks the same on the ivory so it's really hard to tell if it was covered..........Dave.

I should have taken a closer look at this last week, there were too many distractions on your display table.

Still making my way back home. Custom knives were the bulk of Lee's items, he didn't bring any of his Moro stuff. John- yes! I'll email you when I get home.
