Well, anybody could see that this is a great LT, even if they haven't seen any before!
But according to forum rules I didn't think we were allowed to comment weapons that were for sale at the Swap forum? Michael |

Hello Michael,
Just kidding ![]() And indeed you don't have to be a specialist to see the quality of this LT. It is very harmonic in shape patina etc. |

I think the LT is much more rare than I even thought on the moment
I only know that Michael has some . So I will not get to the 10 Willem or are you hiding a few . Ben |

That's an interesting variation, maybe a small boy's LT?
![]() To me it looks too small on the picture to be a real LT? Do you have a picture of the complete parang so we can see the rest of the proportions? Michael |

is this another variation, or should we consider this not to be a LT but some kind of variant or transition piece? Maurice |

Hi Maurice,
It looks like a "Stefan-variation" but as you have made your own pictures of it I assume it's no longer for sale. I think it's a LT-variation #3 as I don't put weight on the added crowit features surrounding the kundieng. But that's just my ideas... Nice buy! Michael |

Hi Michael,
What I specially like is the similarity in the hilts. The LT you have with a similar kundieng, has also a similar hilt as mine. The faces are carved very shallowly. I put them together for better comparison. I was surprised when I opened the package. It was better as I thought it was from the images. The balance feels great! Better than a regular mandau! Best regards, Maurice |

Hi again,
I think you have mixed up my hilt and the kundieng #3. Below is the matching hilt. The hilt you have attached is to the #1 version - the most common one. Yours look really nice, much better than anticipated on the seller's pictures. Michael |

Yes Michael, indeed a mix up.
Sorry I commented too fast, before looking more carefully! But the hilts do have similarities (both of them which I depicted, besides the different kundieng). Maurice |
