Hello Duccio,
Quote:
The corrosion seems consistent with the blade being wrapped for storage and then sitting with quite a bit of moisture for extended periods. I also believe Gustav pointed to the likely owner. Let me know if you decide to part with this piece, please! Regards, Kai |

you are the first on the list! When I decide to part with it, I'll warn you first, rest assured. But you have to take away a curiosity: why are you interested in a knife that, it seems to me, is not very valuable, indeed, it seems to me rather ruined? Greetings. Duccio |

Thanks, Duccio!
Certainly a combination of reasons: I have a substantial collection of Sunda blades and this would be a nice addition despite condition issues. I'm keen to examine the steel to check my estimate and to compare how this blade performs compared to other styles. I'm mostly into the older blades and this would be one of the younger examples.  Regards, Kai |

stumbled upon a picture from a Dutch collector's website of cold weapons from Indonnsia:
a Bado originating from Tjikeroeh. Grip had most likely been replaced one time or another. Engraved with :TJIKR website: https://aberkel13.wixsite.com/keris |
