A sword from Kirgisia of Tatar type (one of my favourites), of exceptional quality and very long as well!

Below are Ottoman (one with the Greek inscription and Maria with Jesus image) and Japanese blades which have European dress (you remember, Radu was asking about them some time ago). One sword is Japanese made for the European market.

Well folks, there is a fine example of gold work on a keris dressed in Sulawesi style. Without serious investigation of the photo,however, the keris does not look like a Bugis keris and the gold work looks like Javanese work.
