Still a nice piece.

Thank's for your input. Do you would clean the blade when it's your's? And give new hair? And what do you think, there have been old coins or other silver disc's?
The diameter is 19 mm.

Regards,

If it were mine, I would clean and etch the blade and have old Spanish or Philippine coins for eyes (or if not found, then make okir silver discs for eyes), plus replace the hair. I can and have done these before.
