Another Gunong for restoration

[russel]

I recently won this little (8.5") Gunong cheaply on ebay - even cheaper than yours Detlef Sadly no scabbard.

Despite the rather poor sellers images I believe it to be a nice older example. I will post better images when it arrives.

My main dilemma is what to do about the handle, as someone in the past has foolishly drilled a hole through it
