I had a wonderful soussan pata from Rsword, but then sold it to Charles to get my wonderfully rare ivory kampilan. I too am in the market for a good soussan pata.......(and a Balkan yataghan in silver and coral, a silver or ivory junggayan kris, etc.....)

Wish lists.
When I started to collect keris I had a very simple wish list:- I wanted every keris that I could find. All of them. By my early thirties I had over 3000 keris. These days I want knowledge more than I want keris. |

Well said Alan,
The mind holds a hell of a lot more than any collection ever can . Still, we all suffer from the desire to posses the tangible . |

My Wish List
....to acquire any old, used weapon that had meaning to it's original owner irrespective of the weapon's monetary value or status Something that when I hold it in my hands .....I can 'feel' its history...and have the privilege of cherishing it like the original owner once did. Swords I would like in that category would be a 1796 Pattern Sabre, A wootz bladed Shamshir, a Moro Kris , a 18th Century Katana , an Ancient Egyptian Kopesh and a genuine, pattern welded Viking Sword......some are well out of my financial league .....but, for any generous souls.... it's my birthday in 7 months time Regards David Last edited by katana; 25th August 2008 at 01:51 AM. |
