Ok Ben but I don't think if the tag on the sword clearly shows " Tilburg" and the description with drawings shows the swords collected by the mission and the collectionnumber doesn't look like a " Beijens number" (they mostly begin with 43......) you can convince me with a card that its not from Tilburg.
Also I don't think curators exchange tags from sword for fun......

regards,

Arjan.

I was only telling it came from an sword collector never say it was from the beijens collection.

Good reading is always good to make no mistakes Arjan.

If you don t now

I explain it was given by an collector
to the people in Tilburg not collected by themselves .
I will see in 2 weeks if they have an name on it.

I hope you understand now .

That is why I say read good
Maybe also when you was there in the museum and you didn t read good what they tell about the sword .

Ok that at least explains something.
But if you are there please ask the curator for that little booklet what I found there. its a description of many items from Tilburg also the swords.
In it there are schetches and descriptions.note that the collection numbers are the old ones. sadly they don't know who has written it but seen to the many items in it the curator has the idea that its from the fathers from Tilburg. there are also some other descriptions about other swords.
I have made pics about the sword pages if you want I can mail them.

Its also no problem for me to get there however its a quite long travel for me.
Fer invited me to come again what I surely will do, one day is a little short.

I didn't pay much attention to the Aceh shields however there are some nice dayak shields there....

pics are indeed in the database but I always prefer to make my own pics.
So I can pic out any detail separate while museum pics are mainly one total shot, sometimes with the blade in the scabbard.

see forward to recieve the name of the father who collected those swords
