Thank you very much Gustav!

Here another specimen, quite elaborated Pamor, yet also kind of typical - a twisted rod (?) in the upper third, two twisted rods in the middle. Perhaps there was some different kind of a twisted rod at the edge, but it has vanished. Additionally a Batu Lapak, only on the "inner" side of blade.

Blade length - 44 cm.

Very nice complete example!

Thank you, Detlef!

I really can only admire the work of the blacksmith who made it. So many tricky welds, and not one significant cold shut.

Also nice to see these with the bone inlay intact. Thank you for sharing.
