Details of scabbard:
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Lower third is held together by rotan strings. I presume there once was a chape of the tin (?), but it went missing and some creative Iban fixed it with rotan. ![]() |

A question; what makes this Iban ?

Hello Rick,
this weapon was not made by the Iban, but rather owned by the Iban. Maybe the title is a bit mistakable. Last edited by Rick; 24th May 2009 at 03:52 PM. Reason: I am always hitting edit instead of quote; my apologies |
