Bill, congrats for getting this piece from Arjan's collection! I like the carvings and the old fittings...
Michael, why do you think this is an Opi? The hilt and scabbard style seems to me in good agreement with what Albert van Zonneveld classifies as sword of the Timor group, type a, doesn't it? While the short blade seems to be of good quality, I assume these are mainly status (or ceremonial) swords? Regards, Kai |
