Hi Guy,s,

Yes i stained it quite quick, the solustion is strong so it don,t take a lot of time.
the rust was also easy to remove.

There is Ujung Gunung on both side,s , but it won,t come out verry clear , i don,t know why? it,s a pitty.

Here some photo,s of the sheat .

Hi Danny,

like I write you yesterday by e-mail: When the blade fit good inside the sheath I would suggest to restore it, it's a nice timoho sheath and the wood is expensive.

It depend from the material how strong the contrast come out by warangan.

Best regards,

Detlef

The restore job was done from a friend of me who has done already some very nice and good jobs for me.
The missing wood was filled with other wood and at some parts with a little bit wood filler and painted black at some areas so it is matching with the timoho. The wrongko was taken off since it was glued wrong to the gandar and the wilah don't fit good inside before. After all work was done the sheath get some layers of shellac. Here some additional pictures.

BTW, the keris look now very good with the handle again Danny!

Regards,

Detlef
