Hi Thomas,

yes, not so far and maybe we will meet in future. I am not a really expert in regards to tombak but I think that it will be nearly impossible to pinpoint down an age for your tombak, it's not a masterpiece of work (sorry) so maybe also Alan wouldn't be able to do it. It's an old and most possible antique one but how old exact, I don't know. See here: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...ghlight=tombak It's a tombak I've shown recently. Your's, of other form, get remounted as dagger somewhere in it's history, not very unusual, see here for example: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...ghlight=tombak There is also something said to the term "lading terus".

Best,
Detlef
