It is a Khevsur shield. It is the reason for the hunting of Khevsur arms and the great lesson I got with the fakes. At least this is old and real. I got it years ago, before the factory of imitation appears.

I THINK BEN NAILED IT I HAVE A VERY HARD TIME CHOOSING, BUT THIS THREAD HAS GOT ME TO THINKING AND LOOKING AGAIN. THANKS FOR THE OFFER RICK I WILL SEE IF I CAN FIND SOMETHING TO SEND TO YOU FOR RESIZING IN THE NEAR FUTURE.

A GOOD OLD SOUTH PACIFIC CLUB IS A GOOD IDEA, MY FAVORITE IS A MAORI JADE CLUB BUT IT DON'T LOOK LIKE MUCH IN A PHOTO.

Give it a try Barry; I can always try to augment and improve it with a little 'manipulation'.

You've got my email address, correct ?

My avatar is a Maguindanao kris with a 1920s-30s blade, but the hilt is 1890s made of ivory, woven silver bands, and chased okir swaasa bands. I made the scabbard to match (chased okir silver and small swaasa bands). It was the second scabbard I ever made. Here are some pictures.

Enjoy - Jose
