restoration will be rather radical in any case and I am not sure that it will cost less than buying a sword with all it needs to be restored already in place.
You need a new hilt, and new sheath, two new baca-baca and all this for a sword that is certainly not as old as many others. On the other hand I have been told by someone whom bought a kris from me that he found it difficult to find such blades in the Philippines too, and that's why he was so eager to buy my blade which was in working order and had nothing missing.
