Silver mounted badek for coments

Hello Fernando,

The blades of Alan's and Dominque's badik are made from Dutch VOC swords - possibly the blades of broken colonial swords got recycled and given a 2nd life while your nice piece has a Javanese pamor blade.

Regards,
Kai

Hi Kai,
I understand that, although my intention was to remark an eventual familiarity between those blades, this has nothing in common with my example, which is of local production.
I have registered this piece of mine as being from the Sulawesi island; should i change it to Jawa, or is this an indiferent situation ?
Thanks.
Fernando
