Nice swords! I would say that these are a common decoration foun on these swords. I really do like the matching cracks on the hilts Funny I two Sikin swords with identical cracks in the hilt I have yet to see one that doesn't have one.

Slowly the collection extends, but the variation in these spine decorations comes close to zero. I still do like them a lot
The last addition has a suasa collar and horn hilt: hulu cangge gliwang.

Default Nice Variety

Nice Variety Willem, one of my Amanremu has similar markings.

I really like the laminations in the Ladieng, any good photos of that pattern?
