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

Nicely done, congrats Jose! Can I assume that both crests of the ivory pommel are damaged?
Regards, Detlef |

Hi Detlef - yes both beak and tail are damaged. So in accordance to Moro tradition, I covered the damage with gold plated metal with okir design.

Here are pictures of the scabbard I made. The top wranga is made of burled walnut and the rest is made of walnut. Bands are made of silver.
