This recently closed.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...MEWN%3AIT&rd=1 THIS ONE IS OUT OF THE ANTHONY C TIRRI COLLECTION. It is in his book as well. ( ISLAMIC WEAPONS MAGHRIB TO MOGHUL) Page 415, Figure 293B. Anyone can help verify this? ![]() Is the closing price, OK? Information requested on this piece. Thank you in advance. ![]() |

It looks just like the one in the book.
I find it a bit short but otherwise nice. I think another member of this list, in US, have some more information about it. Otherwise I wouldn't have mind the larger one, pictured far left on Fig. 293 B. I suspect that one is Aceh, and not Javanese as described? Michael |

Hi Alam , out of copyright concerns I have sent you a picture via PM .
Sadly the picture in the book is tiny and of poor quality . It does look like the same piece though . |

Phew! That's a relief.
![]() I guess the description is too generic - Pedang Lurus (straight sword). I think is a Javanese Tempius or Pedang Tusuk which literally means (stabbing sword). What do you think? Michael, I wouldn't mind the larger piece as well. Mine is a size 'S' blade. ![]() But it's lovely anyway. I'll clean and re-etch the blade once it arrived. Thanks Rick, Michael and Kai.
