My Talibon Restoration

Greetings folks,

I think my original thread years ago on this subject got disappeared with the loss of others a while back. So I thought I would recreate a thread on this for research.

I found this talibon years ago in a antique mall. This is how it looked. As you can tell, the problems are that there is an old break on one lobe of the hilt, and a huge break on the opposite half of the hilt. Also, there is a crack in the back, one of the braided bands on the scabbard is missing, as well as cracks in the scabbard.
