Two Dutch Hembrugs

[Bill M]

I got my modified Hembrug from UK today. Here are some pictures with a longer standard Dutch Klewang used in Aceh.

If I had not read the earlier thread, I would have thought that my "modified" klewang was made as such and not a shortened Dutch military klewang.

I ordered a copy of "Klewang: Catalogue of the Dutch Army Museum by Koninklijk Nederlands Leger- en Wapenmuseum Generaal Hoefer, J. P. Puype, Jozef J Aptos, Jan Piet Puijpe, Koninklijk Nederlands Leger- en Wapenmuseum Generaal Hoefer, Rob de Sturler Boekwijt."

from Barnes and Noble Booksellers USA and it was in Dutch! There was no mention of this when I ordered it, so I returned it and bought another copy from Amazon after being sure it was in English. This copy has not arrived yet, so I will withhold comments until I get it.

Hopefully Wayne and a few others who have "Kelly-wang" knowledge will chime in.
