Providence from his estate
By visiting the auction house I was able to obtain direct photographic evidence.

Gosh they are nice. Did you or was there any issues about the ivory? I am sure others would be interested to know.

What a haul. Congrats.
Where’s the Kris with the Garuda(?) hilt. He must’ve placed those ray skins on the handles. |

Congratulations. I saw that auction, but no money to bid. I love not only the krises but also the Tagalog piece with the carved horn and horn/silver scabbard (I was going to go for that one ).
Also great to have provenance! Would you be able to post the weapons pictures individually here? |

I assume this auction took place in the USA and it seems that this portion of the collection has remained there. Generally these issues don't arise unless the items in question are crossing international borders.

Intra-State on pieces this old there aren’t any issues where I live. DO NOT attempt anything like this with international purchases!! I recently had piece go through that process from Italy and it took several months… none where Ivory and it was still a really difficult process and cost significantly more to get the items to the US. Hope that helps!! |
