Depends on perspective Sid.

The gentleman I mentioned had no children, I often felt that his collection was a substitute for children.

On the other hand I do have children, thus I have responsibility that never ends and continues even after I have moved on.

I would like to think I leave a relatively tidy work bench.

Interesting to see a Bali style Keris with defined Blumbangan but without Kruwingan and Tikel Alis. An unusually plain appearance.

SidJ, is there a possibiity to post a good picture of the base of blade with Gandhik on the left? Thank you very much!

And, is the blade alone indeed 44 cm long?
