I wanted a straight to try my hand at restoration and picked this up.
The scales are pretty buggered by the look of things. Twisted and very thin !
The blade doesn't seem too bad at all, so I shall proceed

They look of bone. I would definitely try to save that whole bundle. I love those old thick tangs.

Rest assured Guys, I'll do my very best to use the original scales. They do have a wonderful colour to them.
