Very nice examples Ben,
I noticed that you don't have any examples with the Badouh (kutika) commonly seen on Parang Nabur? Several of the 19th C examples in Juynboll have this talismanic inlay. Is this just a coincidence or do you think it's an age indicator? (Obviously the second example I show has less age than the first.) Michael |

This seems to be when the sword "changed" and the hilt became more bat like...
