Congratulations on your great aquisitions. Great looking silver kris.

Does your Jungayan barung have any ivory or bone inlays on the pommel? Usually these types of barungs have triangular and dot inlays of bone or ivory on the sides and decorative inlays on the pommels. Is the pommel made of kamagong or kalabao horn?

These are great swords and would be careful with the hanging method.

Whoa! Those things are cool! I should have gotten one in Malaysia when I had the chance. The Malaysian ones looks a little different than that, though. Again, nice pieces!

Beautiful pieces! The barong looks identical to one that was here at the Louisville last month that belonged to Federick's Swords. If it is the same, I almost got it and it is horn and silver.

I came close to getting a 18c scottish dirk, but got my brains beaten out at the auction (we battled for while and I made him pay for it

).
