Here are the 2 other variations of krowit that could be seen on a LT.
I haven't seen any other variations than these 3 but maybe someone else has?

Hi Michael,

is this another variation, or should we consider this not to be a LT but some kind of variant or transition piece?

Hi Maurice,

It looks like a "Stefan-variation" but as you have made your own pictures of it I assume it's no longer for sale.
I think it's a LT-variation #3 as I don't put weight on the added crowit features surrounding the kundieng. But that's just my ideas...

Nice buy!

Hi Michael,

What I specially like is the similarity in the hilts.
The LT you have with a similar kundieng, has also a similar hilt as mine.
The faces are carved very shallowly.
I put them together for better comparison.

I was surprised when I opened the package. It was better as I thought it was from the images. The balance feels great! Better than a regular mandau!

Best regards,
Maurice

Hi again,

I think you have mixed up my hilt and the kundieng #3.
Below is the matching hilt. The hilt you have attached is to the #1 version - the most common one.
Yours look really nice, much better than anticipated on the seller's pictures.

Yes Michael, indeed a mix up.
Sorry I commented too fast, before looking more carefully!
But the hilts do have similarities (both of them which I depicted, besides the different kundieng).
