Restoration of Mythical Double Edged Sword - ZULFIKAR

Hello. Today I’m restoring an antique saber with a double-edged blade. This Zulfikar double edged sword is not mine — I was asked to restore it. Its condition is below average: there’s rust, some deep spots, ingrained dirt, no handle, and no scabbard. Only the blade and the guard remain. In my opinion, it’s a 20th-century piece. I’ll have to make the handle, scabbard, and all the details from scratch — as usual. So, let’s begin the restoration.
