Well Pusaka, i wouldn't get too hung up on emoticons. I have never personally seen ( :rolleyes: ) as a direct insult, just simply sarcasm. Don't lose sight of the content because of it. I say this...

Thanks Jim, and thanks Rick for passing that on. A very informative post, but it is my suspicion that Pusaka is more interested in how difficult the process would be today than in the past. I could...

I am with you on this one B, i don't think it is correct to refer to your hilt as a "reproduction", just another in the vast myiad of variations to be found in the art of the keris and keris dress....

Well, i don't own a barung yet, but would agree that in a tight space it would be a weapon of choice. But my wavy Moro kris is extremely intimidating and wicked sharp.... :D
