Cool

It's all supply and demand...simple economics !

But consider that the more we learn about a weapon and the people who used them, the more valuable that weapon becomes. Such is the case of the garab....the favored sundang of the notorious Pulahan. That fact alone can justify that price to certain collectors. If we didn't know about the Pulahan or their notoriety, then the garab wouldn't be worth as much .

And look what happened to the tenegre in recent years....prices have almost tripled since their first discussion on this forum.

Fortunately, there are other sundang just as notorious as those.....

...that have yet to be spoken of here !
