Rhino Khanjar with Damaged Scabbard, Advice Needed

A.alnakkas · 15th January 2013, 12:09 PM

Hey all,

Today I recieved this beautiful Rhino khanjar. To my disappointment the scabbard was damaged (was glued previously) I wont return it to its original owner because I bought it (and the items that came along with it) dirt cheap so I would love to restore it.

The silver work is intact except for the wiring which has some breaks. The scabbard's chape is broken and is held by the bottom ring. Should it be easy to replace the broken wood? the wiring must be restored aswell..

The hilt in the pictures is not oiled but I oiled it with some baby oil. Its translucent and pretty old!
