WARNING !! ... WARNING!! WILL ROBINSON....
![]() Hullo everybody! Looks like 'the silly season' is already upon us. ![]() I've noticed a surge in these sabres with the ribbed grip and eagle/lion pommel for sale (mainly in Indo, but some outside). What creates a question in my mind is:'Why does the Museum of the Province of West Kalimantan have a Shaver Cool VOC eagle-head pommel as a display?' I hope I'm wrong and it's all a misunderstanding.(http://www.indotoplist.com/info/?ZEc...Nad2FHRnNQUT09) Best, ADDENDUM: Apparently, there's an M1876 Cavalry Sabre for sale somewhere among the Dutch with its blade stamped (if I remember correctly): A&W Savacool, Soerabaja. Any relation? ![]() Last edited by Amuk Murugul; 14th November 2009 at 07:51 AM. |

EEEEEEEEEK!!!!!
![]() Its a time warp.......'and slowly I turned...step by step....inch by inch!!!!!' You will have to see the 'classic threads' archive under SHAVER KOOL....for the immortal thread that lasted years, beginning close to a decade ago. As near as anyone discovered, the Indonesian navy had some sort of 'sword of honor' termed 'pedang kehormatan' in one of the final throes of this record breaking thread...........we dont know what ever became of Mikey....possibly the Foreign Legion? All the best, Jim |
