Alright i am learning more and more today! thats not how i looked at the "vintage" thing...being born at dec 1971 i just missed it.
And i always wondered where my "drive"came from to start collect weapons from a warm climate.....Maybe cause of my duty for 5 years with the royal dutch marines were i served.Maybe you discovered it.... If you have some tips too to stop the addiction ...my wife will be glad!
Just took a look at your Maduran keris, that one looks very nice, do you have more pictures of it btw?
Since the kampungnet seems to stay out of order, so i started to share my collection at multiply. ( overhere its very easy to "make" a site and upload photo's
