Willem,

I just tried some mind-reading...
Actually I find this hilt most interesting of the samples

I agree that I haven't either seen gold crowns and ivory scabbard mouth as an original combination, which indeed is strange.

Hello Michael,

Yes, that one is very interesting indeed.
Also the blade with the protrusions is somethin I have not seen on a sikin before.

Too bad that it has a replacement scabbard. You wonder what the original was like.
