I don't know Alan, but way to many what appear to me as repair scratches

and probably because I've seen the practice (the modification) quite often.

We are all entitled to our opinion, and I respect your opinion Tunggelametung.

Any opinion is based upon two things:- information input and experience; the information input in this case is from photos on a computer screen, I can see the same things as you, but my experience leads me to a different conclusion than yours. If we had this item in our hands, we could both well come to a different conclusion.

I think you are right Alan

Thanks all, excellent information.
So is this a reasonable example? It seems quite nice and to have good age.

Hi Gene,

no it's junk but I will be nice and you can send it to me.

But seriously, I know this sheath form as well, it is a rare form (thank you Alan for the background information), the pendok is very nice and good executed and the blade ok. I would be happy when it would be mine!

Regards,

Detlef
