I'm afraid you'd better leave these three where they were. They look rather new and are probably made for the tourists. The blades look a bit thin and flat to me not the usual forged mandau blades with a concave convex form like the middle one.
But let's wait what the experts will tell us. |

Hi CollectingNewbie,
Since you have picked your forum name; I will take it at face value . ![]() This forum has an invaluable archive of information on almost every ethno weapon; it is all available to you through the search function. The next time you see an item you're interested in bidding on try doing a search here for further information before you bid. Also I would strongly suggest that most often the nicest pieces come from dealers who will guarantee their item's authenticity. ![]() |

Thanks guys, sadly yes I am a newbie so Im still learning but Im still very young so its alright. The seller of these swords said that they were real authentic peices and not tourist peices, so once they get here if they are not what they were said to be then I will have a problem, so ay information before hand would greatly help, I know the pictures are bad but best guesses from the experts wont be taken lightly. Thanks again

This one might suggest that you do your homework before you buy.
