It would be very interesting to see some photos... if it isn't too painful.
Hi Marius,

at the weekend I'm going to make some pictures for you. Yes it's hard for me but after a few years my heartache is tolerable when I see it.

My new old Zanzibar Sword in mint condition and the wonderful and extremely sharp Sikin Pasangan with Pedang blade are a very powerful cure!


Roland

On more recent jambiyas the blades are now made of 2 pieces of sheet metal welded together.

I also agree with the method of using a hot needle on a hidden part of the hilt to determine if it is plastic, which it does look like to me, but one can never be sure without testing.

Not the area of my collecting but I doubt that it is a 19th century piece, sorry!
