Hi Cy and Dajak, beautiful pieces!!!! Just a question: those theeth and tusks are from what animals? Thank you very much

VERY NICE!

Dajak,

Can you tell us some of the things that make an authentic one? Things to look for?

Hi Bill look at the handle they have sign off use look at the balls and compare them to what you have you must see the difference.

And none off these swords are mine they all belong to Chris I only resize them.

Found a photo of a documented Nias sword from the late 1800's. Almost exactly the same style as mine. Purhaps if mine was collected during this period and kept in a collection it wouldn't exhibit the extreme wear one would expect.
