Thank you Alan for the like usual clear and elaborately respond. Yes, this is what I've meant, I know the scabbards from this Javanese pedangs are made this way, with wooden liners.
I've asked because most of the Luzon leather scabbards are all leather ones. You know maybe that I am interested to Luzon swords, so my question. Over there it's the exception to see reinforced leather scabbard with wooden liners.
And like you I know that it's more as seldom to find a Javanese pedang in original sarung, most blades have replacement sarungs and also hilts.

Like you I would like to see this pedang well restored, to seldom you get the chance.

Regards,
Detlef

Hello Naga82,

maybe try carefully to remove the green paint. Try very fine steel wool, I think this will work, repolish the handle with some sort fine grind polish and oil the wooden or horn hilt. The sword would win already by this. Are all parts of the handle free from play?

Regards,
Detlef
