Salaams Ibrahiim, I feel confounded too. Why would an upgraded, I assume, pinned hilt appear with a rather drab plain threaded sheath? I did the pin test( burning wood odor) and subsequent cleaning came about as I started to clean the silver. So is this Sandalwood? Right now the smell test is out (minty odor). I used your toothpaste method to clean the uneven pin surfaces, even that is slow going removing the silver tarnish. Thank you all for your interest and help. Steve
