Hi Charles,

Thanks for the pics of these fantastic naburs.
I like the second the most (the one with the more straight blade).
Very nice pieces....(I wonder how many you have now..)

Regards,
Maurice

Great taste as always Charles!

The first BB looks very (!) old to me, both the brass hilt and the compact blade. Its scabbard is a puzzle?
The second one is one of a kind, maybe it's a hybride of a Beladah Belabang (hilt and blade features) and a twist of a Pedang Jenawi (straight blade)?
On the third one I don't think it's influenced by a Jimpul. Maybe a Sumatran Pedang however?

Thanks guys.

Michael, I agree, I think #1 is quite old. If differs radically in hilt style and blade style, and I think also in blade quality. The scabbard is truly odd, but very functional. It is clearly an "all business" example.
