Hello Ariel, yes the swod is a bedouin sabre with european blade (Tim Simmons's collection

Oh, I can see it clearer now ( always good to know that something is NOT what you thought

). The one on the left is a Pedang I ( Peudeung for the purists

) from Sumatran Battaks.

Hello Flavio,
Thanks for sharing your collection!
I can only aspire to acquire the knowledge neccessary to acquire such a diverse collection. Any chance of some closeups of your kukri? Heres what is probably the best piece I have, from a collectors viewpoint.

Best wishes

Dan
