I would love to see those Pira out of their scabbards .

Thanks everybody for your kind words, help and welcome

. I will do some further reseach on the web for the sugesstions that have been given to me. It has been a real pleasure to read and learn from all the forumites over the past year.

I will try to post some closeups of the sword and scabbard, I will do the same for the pira. I'm still here at work

on the west coast and looking to getting home and taking some photos.

Best Regards,

Hi everybody!

I have some closeups of the last blade. Do the carvings on the handle and scabbard help narrow down area or type of Blade? Is there any signifcance of the carvings and the interaction of the carvings of blade in the scabbard?

Thanks for all your help!

fjfedericks, nice Indonesian piece. How about the piras next to the mask? Do you do kali, escrima, or some other Filipino martial art? I noticed the appropriate triangle upon which several Moro/PI pieces rest.

Hi Battara,

I am indeed an escrimador. I have enjoyed it and other martial arts for many years. I study escrima and JKD under Guru Richard Bustillo. I am grateful for this forum and have learned much from coming here.

Best Regards!

Hi FJ,

If you wish to narrow down the area it's probably made close to Lake Toba in NW Sumatra.
Medan is the nearest big city on a map.

Don't mean to hijack the thread but I haven't posted in a year. Found this thread while searching some posts.

I also study JKD and Doce Pares escrima. My school's linage is through Richard, he came out last year.
I'm really pumped because Cacoy Canete is flying in tommorrow night for a semi private seminar Saturday.

Very exciting for me. I've been waiting for two years for this to come together. So I've pulled out the PI stuff and wiped them down..did some vinegar etching etc. Hopped on the forum and reread some old posts...just to see if any questions to ask him would come to mind.

Plan on showing him some of my collection, asking some questions etc. I've heard his Espada y Daga is some of the best.

Again, I apologize for straying off topic,

moose (very excited in Mich.)
