Here are pictures of my restoration attempt. Lots of hard work and the learning curve was a sheer cliff! I had to teach myself how to do Turkish silver filigree (which is not on Youtube nor is anyone teaching it
). It was a lot of trial and error (more error) and I had to create my own techniques. I also restored the wood scabbard top and the leather with velvet. Finally I had to re-inlay the missing brass on both sides of the blade and I had to do a little grinding and polishing to get rid of the areas of the blade that were beaten up. This took me 8 months.
