I took a gamble on this as they are not my thing. I hope this is circa 1900? The scabbard seems to have seen some life before being covered in a lacquer and the cloth wrap is most unlikely to be the original. The blade needs retching. Can anybody talk me through this process? I know it is Philippine but that is all. Thanks in advance.
