			Very good job Jose!      What I want to know: Are the collars of the handle are from silver or they are silver plated? And what you use to cover the wrapping of the handle? Regards, Detlef |

			Thank you Sajen! Well (being a deep subject  ) the silver on this is solid and not plated. On the hilt wrap, it is jute or twine that has several coats of black lacquer on it (like they did traditionally). |
