			Hi Guys, 
		
		
		
			I picked up this Bichwa on eBay late last year, incorrectly listed as a Keris. I have wanted one of these for quite some time. I would appreciate thoughts and opinions about this, particularly if anyone could make a guess as to its age. Cheesr - Russel  |

			Hi Russel, 
		
		
		
			I have tried to make one of you pictures lighter, so it is easier to see the details. Jens  |

			Thanks Jens, that makes the detail a lot clearer, I must start editing my images a little better.

			I posted this a while ago, but it seems to have gone unnoticed. Any thoughts or comments would be greatly appreciated.
