Dear All,
nothing very refined, nevertheless a nice blade (55,5 cm) of its kind, particularly the subtle tapering to the tip. About 40% of outer binding on handle is gone. The quite fine inner binding isn't a repair, it goes under the outer and can be seen at some places. An interesting feature is the inserted Jalen/Tjalen (that's how it's called in Keris terminology, sorry). The pommel is not small. Comments are welcome! |

Thank you, gentlemen!
Except for some spots of more or less active rust I will leave it as it is. It will look better with the battered handle as it is. No expectations of some special welding miracles, these pieces usually have the most simple construction, like Thilos kris: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...ighlight=lukky or a kris Stefan sold a while ago: http://www.ashokaarts.com/shop/old-m...o-philippines- Actually very few of these many Luk pieces are upper class, the most notable exception being: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...guindanao+kris I would be interested in your opinions, why such pieces with an exaggerated number of Luk did appear at all. |
