WARNING !! ... WARNING!! WILL ROBINSON....

Hullo everybody!

Looks like 'the silly season' is already upon us.

I've noticed a surge in these sabres with the ribbed grip and eagle/lion pommel for sale (mainly in Indo, but some outside).
What creates a question in my mind is:'Why does the Museum of the Province of West Kalimantan have a Shaver Cool VOC eagle-head pommel as a display?'
I hope I'm wrong and it's all a misunderstanding.(http://www.indotoplist.com/info/?ZEc...Nad2FHRnNQUT09)

Best,

ADDENDUM: Apparently, there's an M1876 Cavalry Sabre for sale somewhere among the Dutch with its blade stamped (if I remember correctly): A&W Savacool, Soerabaja. Any relation?
