Beautiful it is but I doubt it is antique. I believe it is very recent production.

Of course I might be wrong, but again I'm pretty sure it is new... brand new!

Dear Mmariuegmioc
Of course this antique!

[La Pagaru]

This one is new

It's strong Buginese influenced but found mainly on Sumbawa. Don't think that this a new sword, it's cleaned and the blade has received a warangan. Very nice short Sumbawa sword. See here my one: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...hlight=sumbawa

Best regards,

Hello Detlef,

It's strong Buginese influenced but found mainly on Sumbawa.

Actually, this is indeed an old Gowa/Bone style sword that got in vogue on Sumbawa due to the strong dynastic and cultural influences on the latter island. It is also fairly common for expat communities (and similar cultures/groups) to often keep established patterns longer than the originating culture which tends to evolve new trends and fads...

There are enough old high-end examples known from Sulawesi to establish that this style originated from there; it is also part of regalia on both, originating and dependant kingdoms.

Regards,
Kai

Dear sajen

This picture for u ,, my be u know this one

[mariusgmioc]

Whether I am correct or wrong is less important than the fact they are superb blades. Never disputed that!

Yet, I am still of the oppinion it is a new blade.

Besides... even paranoids have the right of oppinion.

PS: The pamor of the new one is absolutely stunning!

For others, La Pagaru says in the heading "akhirnya" mean "finally" and in down "someone helped me". Only to prevent confusion.

Tidak apa apa La Pagaru!
