It got a whole lot better!
Good job. Did you have to take the hilt off? If you didn't, how did you solder it? Cold? |

Looks fantastic Jose.
What sort of thickness is the sheet silver you used? Metal punches or horn and wood? Great work. Looks a treat! |

Thank you folks!
I did not have to take the hilt off, but did have to soft solder the ends of the band together. Had to do it very carefully so that I wouldn't burn the wood or ivory. Also I used I think 30 gauge thick silver. I repoussed it and then chased it to match the other bands. When I do this work I use my own hand made steel punches with a chasing hammer. |

This restoration is so good that when you don't tell it nobody will recognize it!
