Hi Dave:

Thanks for starting this page. These are interesting cross-cultural weapons, and the ones I have handled have all been well made. It is interesting to see what some sellers believe they are, and one sometimes sees the darndest attributions for them--European hunting swords, Turkish scimitars, ...

I will try to dig out photographs of several I have owned previously. A couple from Tjikeroeh and one from Tjipatjing come to mind, and maybe another one or two.

Ian.
