Maurice: Thanks much, but Kino is already helping me work through the
Problem. Hopefully we will get it all sorted out soon and you will be able to
see the Mandau...............Dave.

Only thing to add to the other thread would be a translation of the characters on the blade.

Asomotif: Boy, i must have a really bad memory. I really don't remember
having this posted before, but obviously there it is.........Dave.

Well, it is already 4 years ago.
Maybe new members can contribute with new input.

That kind of blades aren't used for fighting so I assume that it's not from a captured mandau.
There is a thread somewhere where we dicussed presentation mandaus.
I go for that its' a local combination, maybe involving somebody Chinese in Kuching.
