Iron cut small sword with golden inlays

[Battara]

All I can add to this is the metal work method. The gold is not inlay but an old process of mercury gilding. At one time whole sections of the hilt had a layer of gold but had been worn off, like in these raised sections without gold.

The mercury gilding method is what was used on blades alongside the blue - if I am not mistaken. I have read tell that it was a seriously poisonous process.
