SWAP: Antique Kris Lanti w/ 4gb CF card
Who wants to swap? This antique kris in exchange for a 4gb Compact Flash (not the cheaper MicroDrive) card for my digital camera? This is the cheapest I saw
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=7541652936 The CF card will be shipped to a US address (which is free according to this auction). But you are free to get another CF card, especially if it's a better, faster one like the Sandisk Ultra or Extreme.  A more knowledgeable forum member (you know who you are) described this blade this way: It's a fully waved kris originating from Maguindanao (i.e. called Lanti locally) and seems to be from the closing decades (or, at latest, turn) of the 19th century. The light 18-inch blade and forging style of the luks resembles late 18c/early 19c pieces. The interesting brass gangya seems to be pretty unique and may be an old, well done replacement. Hilt was recently reglued with pitch (may had been a bit loose due to the missing asang-asang) but may possibly be the original hilt. Total length w/ scabbard: 25 / 63.5cm Blade w/ handle: 22-3/4 / 58cm Blade only: 17-1/2 / 44.5cm Weight: 500 grams Shipping cost to US: $26 (pls ask for other countries) |
