Advice on shrinked scabbards?

Ah yes, the leather around the throat. That could be the problem.

I've also found that a little Renaissance Wax, and probably other silicone-based polishes too, applied to the blade helps things slide smoother as well protecting from rust.

I made it!
With a combination of both advices and a little force.
Here it is, the longnosed beauty.
Got it from Artzi.

Thanks,

Michael

Michael:

Very nice sanduko bolo -- these are very uncommon and hard to find in such good condition. Lovely hilt.

Must get Battara to take a look at this one -- Jose, what you think one of these silver hilts would cost to make?

Thanks all,

Now it's oiled and as a bonus I even know what it is.

Have you identified the domed coins that are used on this hilt ?
As I recall it is missing one or two on the other side , no ?
These could probably be easily replaced .

Silver is a snap to work with .
