Hello Detlef,

Sure, any genuine ethnographic piece is worthy of a dedicated discussion - not only high-end stuff!

(BTW, the Karo kalasan with silver/suasa definitely is an above-average example.)

Regards,

Yes, for sure. It coming new to my collection in a poor state, the upper broad scabbard fitting band shows tribal repairs, the silver/suassa sleeve from the handle is missing but the blade is in a very good state.
