What a transformation Detlef. You can hardly believe that it is the same sword shown in the before photos. Wonderful work as always Jose, very impressive.

Best,
Robert

Thank you Robert. This was a long difficult project, but I always want to make sure that whatever I do, I do it right!

Jose, While everything on this is very nicely done the re-channeling of the blade (where needed) and the replacing of the missing silver inlay is absolutely exceptional work. Someone who had never seen this piece before and not known that the inlay was the mess you had to deal with would think it was all original to the blade and just in pristine condition. The photos really do not do justice to your skill and the level of quality you have achieved in one of the most difficult areas of restoration work. Anyone who has ever attempted the replacement of missing inlay in the traditional manner knows what I am speaking of. Again, my congratulations to you on a job most expertly done.

Best Regards,
Robert
