Congratulations to another great LT Ben.
Because it was up for sale I didn't want to comment it earlier.

I am sure that Arjan would not have mind positive comments

VVV · 30th December 2008, 03:04 PM

Well, anybody could see that this is a great LT, even if they haven't seen any before!
But according to forum rules I didn't think we were allowed to comment weapons that were for sale at the Swap forum?

Michael

asomotif · 30th December 2008, 05:34 PM

Hello Michael,

Just kidding

And indeed you don't have to be a specialist to see the quality of this LT.
It is very harmonic in shape patina etc.

Dajak · 31st December 2008, 06:36 AM

Hi there

No one else beside Micheal and me has an Lingai Tingang ????

Ben

asomotif · 31st December 2008, 07:51 AM

Langgai Tinggang might become something like the pakayun...
In the end they can be only found hanging on your wall

kronckew · 31st December 2008, 07:57 AM

Ok, it so will take some time before you get to 10 langgai Tinggangs.

Dajak · 2nd January 2009, 06:34 AM

I think the LT is much more rare than I even thought on the moment
I only know that Michael has some .
So I will not get to the 10 Willem or are you hiding a few .

Dajak · 10th January 2009, 08:06 AM

Here an pic off an LT from the Volkenkundig museum van Nijmegen in the Depot this museum is closed .

Ben

VVV · 10th January 2009, 09:10 AM

That's an interesting variation, maybe a small boy's LT?

To me it looks too small on the picture to be a real LT?
Do you have a picture of the complete parang so we can see the rest of the proportions?

Michael

Dajak · 10th January 2009, 01:49 PM

Hi Michael I can send it to you maybe you can resize it to put it on the forum.

Ben

VVV · 10th January 2009, 01:58 PM

Ben, please do so.

I haven't seen any other variations than these 3 but maybe someone else has?

Michael

Hi Michael,

is this another variation, or should we consider this not to be a LT but some kind of variant or transition piece?

Maurice

VVV · 22nd February 2010, 08:27 PM

Hi Maurice,

It looks like a "Stefan-variation" but as you have made your own pictures of it I assume it's no longer for sale.
I think it's a LT-variation #3 as I don't put weight on the added crowit features surrounding the kundieng. But that's just my ideas...

Nice buy!

Michael

Maurice · 22nd February 2010, 08:58 PM

Hi Michael,

What I specially like is the similarity in the hilts.
The LT you have with a similar kundieng, has also a similar hilt as mine.
The faces are carved very shallowly.
I put them together for better comparison.

I was surprised when I opened the package. It was better as I thought it was from the images. The balance feels great! Better than a regular mandau!

Best regards,
Maurice

VVV · 22nd February 2010, 09:16 PM

Hi again,

I think you have mixed up my hilt and the kundieng #3.
Below is the matching hilt. The hilt you have attached is to the #1 version - the most common one.
Yours look really nice, much better than anticipated on the seller's pictures.

Michael

Maurice · 22nd February 2010, 09:27 PM

Yes Michael, indeed a mix up.
Sorry I commented too fast, before looking more carefully!
But the hilts do have similarities (both of them which I depicted, besides the different kundieng).
