Do you have any pictures of the components before restoration? I'm curious to see the difference.

Excellent work!
“I made the swassa on brass bands”, it’s gold plated? |

Thank you folks.
Werecow - Here are pictures of how I got the pieces (except the pommel). You can see missing silver from empty grooves in the blade, and not much on the hilt except the woven silver bands. At the top of the hilt is a piece of kamagong/makassar ebony. |

Kumusta Albert!
Yes the okir bands are 14k rose gold filled (thicker than plating) bonded to brass beneath. |
