Hi Ron. Certainly an item that was collected in 1860 really is an antique now regardless of how old it was when it was collected. It's not just what we call it. If it's 146 yrs. old it's an antique, period. I also would not discount a dayak headsman sword as not being authentic just because it was collected before it had the opportunity to take any heads.

If it was made by the Dayak at the time with all the skills and qualities that go into a blade that saw some real use, but was collected or gifted before being used it's still the real thing in my book. Just a mite bit cleaner.

Hi Flavio pieces like these are mostly gifts in the older days
and I know the guy who selling it it.

I can only tell just look good in the books and in the museums and than compare.

Look at old dayak picture s where they carry mandau s.

Look at old collection s so it must be easy for you to find out what piece this is.
