In the meantime the blade is in its bath of pineapple juice to remove all the rust...

Check your PM.

This is how it should look like. The end-piece (buntut). [ picture ]
(KampungNet Keris Gallery is down, or else there are many examples there.

Hi all, another step on the long way of restoration

the puzzle is recomposed. Now, first I have to smooth the microscopic scabrousness in some areas...

A good start... to the puzzle. I've always loved restoration works. I find it interesting... intimately knowing the pieces.

Alam, I'm agree with you, but I hope that the final result is at least worth of all the work...

Anyway I've polished the surface: some of the cracks already to this point are visible just a little

Here we go! The restoration on this part of the scabbard is finished! Shirlak (thank you Marco

) and wax. Also the blade is well cleaned now.
