Antoni Tadross, probable restoration
I got this beauty (in my eyes) in the mail today. It's an Antoni Tadross with what I believe to be aluminum scales. The scales and the spine work are what really attracted me to this one.
The blade has a very small nick at the end near the toe and some tarnish, very very small amount of rust on this one.
The scales however seem like they're slightly bent and the blade doesn't fit very smoothly into them but I'm in love with the look.
I had planned on trying to restore this one myself but after seeing it in person I'd like to have it done by someone who actually knows what they're doing. The thing is, when I bought it I had no idea there was an etching on the blade as it is very feint. I assume this can't be salvaged when being restored but it would make this even more special if it could be saved.
I just wanted to share! I have very little info on the maker though, just what I've found from previous posts on this forum.
