Ok I just handled this piece this weekend here at the Louisville show. IT is a nice piece but small - more of a dagger size, not a sword.
Almost bought it, but bought other stuff at the show......... |

I have my doubts: there are no other hilts like this found in any reference works; the blade is much smaller than usual; it was originally sold by a Sumatran dealer who seems to "renovate" old blades now and then.

[/QUOTE] Yes, my great fear. When offered from a suspicious seller, your are warned. But when it shows up in a different setting, your are less careful and hope to have found a rare variation....
