"To the Conqueror ... "
After that it's up to the individual collector of what remains after General Pershing's order #11(?); no ?  Not so sure we're here to talk about that; more the weapons themselves . Who owes who is another question entirely . |

Howdy all,
Jose - I'm over here in San Diego... I guess the lack of basic geographic knowledge is endemic, eh?  Alan - thank you for the kind words...  Nonoy & Rick, I agree with you both (and thank you Nonoy)... The one thing I would add is that I really don't consider myself an owner of any of these, or any other antiques - including edged weapons - I am lucky to have, but rather the temporary custodian of these objects, entrusted with their care and preservation for what brief time they happen to be in my possession. Rick, I apologize for the lengthy digression, and will return my focus to the weapons at hand. Speaking of which, I received pictures of the other kris yesterday, the one that got away. All I can say is  !!Regards, Chris |

My suggestion was that we could become mired in discussion of who should be the heirs of these disparate swords from multiple tribes/cultures . This is, IMO not productive nor germain . Oh, and please share any pictures .  Rick |
