Sudan arm dagger restore or not?

Hi Marc,

I see where you are going with the repair and looks like you have enough material alright.

Will you put a pin in the handle to locate the part in situ while sanding down and give solidity to the join, also how are you going to blend the new "C" shaped part into the existing.

I never like cutting the original part but the shaping of new to old looks very jagged, are you tempted to make the jagged part more uniform by cutting out some of the broken part?

Take pictures as you go along if you have a chance.

Regards,

Ken
