A nice tombak. probably a good pamor blade that needs a good etch. Hilt and scabbard made to give it a dagger look. But certainly not original.
Drink a better buy? Depends what you drink and most important in this matter, how much

I think you did well. Three nights a clear head and a tombak in your hands.
I don't dare to say, what could a man wish more

Thanks Henk,

Well a pint of lager in the south of UK is most often over £3. I have to admit to slowing down, age and waist line do not seem to be able to enjoy such pleasures so much these days. I was under the impression that all Tombaks are an adaption in one way or another so what would be original?

My mistake the blade is 6.5" which changes the dynamics some what

. Still an okay thing I hope.
