Hello,

Thank you all for your comments !!!

It would be really nice to make new hilts with large ears on these blades,
I'd love to make it with horn but my cratsfmanship has is limit grrr

and it's not easy to find large pieces of horn

sure, it's a true profession ! ...

I found what it seems arabic numbers to me on what it remains from the cartouche, I thought it is the date but it is a non sense date ( or for science-fiction !?! ) I recognise a 9 and maybe two 8 , + zero ?

What do you think ?

Kind regards
