I guess it could easily be the same ferrule, as it is a similar sword, with a similar blade base. And according the small recess in the handle it was not a big ferrule.

Thanks Maurice

I'm going to try and fix the scabbard first (while I think about how to do the ferrule)

The blade has seen some use and I'm not sure how 'deep' the original etch would have been. Do you know if the laminations are meant to be clear and visible with a high contrast etch?

Hi Gene,

I am not 100% sure by this but it is very presumably. Mayby Amuk Murugul can confim this.

Hi Detlef,

You mean a high contrast dark etch?

Amuk Murugul give the answer already! And this is something new for me as well and shows again how different Soenda and Djawa.
