Yes Lew, it is a very nice piece - sort of miss that one. Glad it is in good hands.

The above sword is my favorite although it does not even come from the region I actually collect (which is North Sumatran status weapons).

The amount of inscriptions and general feel it has makes this one an exception in many respects in my collection. I have limited my collection and only kept the best pieces and only of the region mentioned above so in fact all my pieces are favorites that this one survived al these limitations makes it "the one"....

Erik I like that one a lot!!
If you ever get tired of it. Let me know.

This is my favorite (inspite there is no scabbard like yours)!

Great blade Maurice!

With these blades the scabbard is almost a distraction from the quality of the blade

I would show the seperate if there were a scabbard.

By the way this is my favorite from the area I do collect North Sumatra- also without a scabbard (and I have enough good examples with scabbards...).

Favorite because of the rare combination of materials from a region where you rarely can get items from (Gayo/Gajo area) and then in an enormous format - probably an important ceremonial item.

REgards, Erik

This is my laraw. My prized possession. It will probably never leave my possession willingly.
It's not very decorated or extremely old or owned previously by some king or warrior... but I like it
