It was great to see a good crowd at the forum gathering and Michael and also Jeff Pringle did a great job with their presentations. Kudos to you gentlemen!

BOTH PRESENTATIONS WERE VERY INTERESTING AND GOOD. THE INFORMATION ON THE BORNEO WEAPONS WAS NEW TO ME AND THERE WAS A GOOD SELECTION OF EXAMPLES TO HANDLE. A VERY INTERESTING PRESENTATION THAT BROUGHT FORWARD A FEW NEW THEORYS ON THE EVOLUTION OF BORNEO SWORDS.
THE WORK DONE ON LEE'S VIKING SWORD AND THE EXPLANATION OF HOW IT WAS DONE WAS INTERESTING. IT SHOWED WHAT THE SWORD WOULD HAVE LOOKED LIKE ORIGINALLY AND WHAT HAPPENS DUE TO CORROSION IN ITS NATURAL STATE ALL ON ONE INTERESTING SWORD. AS USUAL GOOD COMPANY, PRESENTATIONS AND LOTS OF POINTY THINGS AT THE DINNER, THE ARMS SHOW AND AUCTION. A GOOD TIME WAS HAD BY ALL!

MY THANKS TO ARTZI (ORIENTAL ARMS) AND LEE AND THE PRESENTERS FOR MAKEING IT ALL POSSIBLE.

Michael, thank you very much for making some sense of these cultures and their edged artifacts. Most enjoyable and informative.

With Michael's excellent taxonomy of the Borneo swords, it would valuable to have representative photos in this thread for those of us who were not able to attend his lecture and see examples first hand.

Any volunteers willing to post photos of the sword types that Michael discussed?

Or links to photos?

Best Regards,

Dave A
