small kris

[simatua]

Alright i am learning more and more today! thats not how i looked at the "vintage" thing...being born at dec 1971 i just missed it.
And i always wondered where my "drive"came from to start collect weapons from a warm climate.....Maybe cause of my duty for 5 years with the royal dutch marines were i served.Maybe you discovered it.... If you have some tips too to stop the addiction ...my wife will be glad!

Just took a look at your Maduran keris, that one looks very nice, do you have more pictures of it btw?

Since the kampungnet seems to stay out of order, so i started to share my collection at multiply. ( overhere its very easy to "make" a site and upload photo's
for everyone who's interested: www.simatua.multiply.com

as i'm still buying, i have not as yet found a cure, i think it's chronic, you can treat the symptoms, but the need is always with us. i see you have quite a few nice pieces yourself. my wife told me it was her or the collection. i've been single for almost 5 years now....most of my best pieces came in that period

re my other keris, i'll take a few tomorrow when the light is better, meanwhile here is the description:

Keris Untu Walang

pamor: untu walang

and a kujang & a tombak to tide you over:


and a death shroud badek to scare you with.

Thanks, for sharing the pictures.

Indeed the smaller pictures you can enlarge take less space.
but believe me, everyone one on this forum is interested in photo's etc of each other's collection. Always nice if someone willing to share.
....seeing is learning.

greetings martin
