Revival of an old fighter

[CharlesS]

Again, nicely done Detlef. You have given this piece a much truer revision of what it originally looked like, including improving the appearance of the lovely wood. I am sure there are some that would argue and say you should have left it untouched, but I think it's a nice job.

I agree with Charles - very nicely done.

Some final pictures of the restored barong, it's now preserved for future generations and look again how it once could have looked. The blade has received an etch and show a nice lamination. A great thank went to the superb restorer who has done an outstanding job.
