Unusual Piras

[Spunjer]

age wasn't mentioned. matter of fact he didn't he knew about piece one and three. ian, if you can remember mang ven's shop, it was stashed way in the back, behind some boxes. i would say 20th c pieces as well.
as for the blades, the b'laan piece has the thickest blade, thicker than the other two pieces. the base is almost quarter of an inch thick.

Are those now yours, Spunger?
I've got three as well, and the only problem I have with them being automatically being put into the "contemporary class" is that they all seem to have older, heavy, patterned steel blades that are, for lack of a better term, too good for the other modern pieces that I've seen and handled, on a par with early to mid 20th century barung blades.
For now, I'm content to just sit and watch for developements, but I, for one, am not turning loose of mine and am thrilled that something this nice is staying within my monetary reach, at least for now.

yes, they are in my possession. i'm not very familiar with these sandatas, and like you, will prolly hold on them for a while. these were the only pira pieces i saw over there. there were a couple more, but the handle looks like they were 'plastic' or resin, i could be mistaken, tho.
