Absolutely Mark! The hills may be alive with the sound of music, but the blue Danube was once alive with the sound of naval saber rattling. :)

Bill, you might be right, there could be a baca-baca there. Frankly, i'm not "assuming" anything about this kris based upon this photo. I certainly wouldn't assume that there is a ferrule. It could...

I believe this is called a trousse. They generally come from China. Yours looks nice as well as old. Too bad the chopsticks are missing, they where probably ivory. This is an eating implement, not a...

Hi Steve. From what i can tell Valiant makes some interesting and fairly accurate repros. But remember that they are still repros. If that is what you are looking to collect that's fine. I also...

I don't think it's a question of a better monitor. :rolleyes:
I think it is very possible this is an old "archaic" Moro kris, what Cato defines as 18thC kris. By comparison to the Madura keris...

There is little question that the sheath is recent work, though the hilt obviously has some age to it, but it clearly looks like Indonesian work to me. I have never seen a European blade with this...
