Thanks Maurice, for all the pics and info! It's truly much appreciated

The mention of a "chisel-shaped" edge for a barung is interesting. But I do have a shandigan barung that has swollen edge just on one side - thus it appears chisel-edged. I hope I can see that Leiden barung in person one of these days.

When I went to Spain last September, I was actually planning to go to Leiden, too. But I ran out of time -- that is, money So I'll do it next time, as circumstances will allow.

Thanks again for everything!
