Here's a hoot! I got this Othello a while back.
Interesting Shakespearean character, Othello!
You just don't see these!
Scales had shrunk and warped.
Seems apparent the wedge is toxic. Spider rust at the tips....:(
Otherwise, sweet 6/8 blade..

Got it apart. Saw the inlay poking through a few places on the back.
Buzzed the back a bit on the wire wheel and popped-it out.
WTF?

Seems the cavity was machined-out and the inlay glued-in.
Some gentle prodding with an exacto-knife separated the picture from the frame.
Looks like Othello is printed and on some paper-board. I guess they poured celluloid on top as it was in the frame?

So.....What do I do now? :shrug:
Sweet scales Tom. Funny, I have one with the same OTHELLO, but mine has M.G. on the backside tang. Same damn blade shape too.

Haha. Ya don't need them. I really want to do some nice translucent blue scales on this. Think it would look super.
Othello was a black man......Need to go black! I suppose? :)
Look at the tool marks on the back behind the inlay Tom and you can see what they did.
Oh yeah. Seems obvious. A job for a renaissance man! :)
Looks like a simple inlay job Tom. Perhaps some black horn?
