Yeah Lew, i was watching that one too. If i had the time that could have made a very nice winter restoration project.

I think in the end the buyer did OK as it looks like there are a couple of nice blades in there. The Bali w/the hair wrapped hilt looks solid and would probably clean up nice. The hardest part, for Western collectors at least, is replacing sheaths. I think one would have a real tough time piecing together even one good wrongko from those parts.
