SORRY ABOUT THAT DAVID,

THE BAD NEWS IS I BEAT YOU TO IT, THE GOOD NEWS IS YOU OWN ONE THAT I CONSIDER UNUSUAL AND SUPER COOL. CONGRADULATIONS!!

A SECOND PICTURE WITH MORE INFORMATION ON YOUR MANDAU WOULDN'T BE OUT OF PLACE HERE.
I AM ESPECIALLY CURIOUS ABOUT THE HILT THAT APPEARS TO BE GREEN HORN.

And a picture of the blade would be nice to.

This hilt is very unusual. Makes me think of Bayu handles, but the base of the blade does not look Bayu to me.

Best regards,
Willem
