http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=6517080985 I don't understand. However I have a few pieces, bought because they were very strange or bad in case I ever write a book and have a chapter called "Keris gone wrong." This moro above would fit there. I don't know the buyer, but I am sure that he had his reasons for buying these. Like I did when I got the keris below. (Keris gone wrong) Paid less than $50. Wife grabbed it for her kitchen gallery. I thought that it was tourist junk, but one of the respected Forum members, who comes from Indonesia visited me and said that it was really "customized" by a Batak for his own use. I thought it was "customized" for Tourist sale. It even has a little rattan hanging loop. You can see it right behind the handle. I dunno, still looks strange to me. Blade is not bad, but don't fee like posting it. Personal reasons. Happy to send pix by private mail Comments? |

Bullets and computers?
OK, Ian opened this topic. Just have to let y'all know about another bullet riddled item. With 51 bids and $280 closing price I feel like getting out my shotgun and raising some prices on some otherwise junk.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=6750430437 Seriously, I can't believe that people bid on this. |

But, Bill, it appeared on TV -- in Australia. It MUST be worth a lot if it's been shown on TV.

Could be, but hard to say with such a small image.
BTW, that is an unusually large barung and hardly qualifies as a concealed weapon -- wonder how he got close enough to do any damage without being detected carrying such an obvious weapon. |

Not sure he did. They could be bullet-marks, or dirt, or whatever, but they sure could be....On further examination I think what's on the blade might be blood......

It does look like a full length rattan skin wrap.
