Default Klewang Celebes / Moluccas for sale.

For sale :

A big heavy Klewang from Celebes or Moluccas.

Total length 76 cms. / handle approx 21 cms
The blade has some heavy pitting, but still shows that it has been handforged and layered structure.

The handle in perfect condition all rattan still present and in good condition.
a buffalohorn ring at the base of the handel. the wood shows extensive patina.

Please compare with the example in Zonneveld's TWOIA.
This one does not have the handguard and appears not to be made without the guard.

Default correction on the last phrase

This one appears to be made without the handguard.
So, no signs of a former fixed handguard that went missing.

Hello Ben,

Your email that arrived 2 hours after the present buyer read :

Hi Willem ik wil hem direct kopen voor 325,00


Regards , Ben


This is a most unproffesional remark from your side.

Default Andrew, please close this thread

Andrew,

Can you please close this thread ?
I think we can sort this out outside of the forum.
