Well it is a little small. The figure is about 15.5 cm (six inches) high. But I think, from the shape of the end of the blade, it is my first Jimpul. :D ;)
Can't tell if the blade is flat or whatever. :rolleyes: The Shield is not for sale. Don't even ask. Not mine anyway. :(
Opinions???? :shrug: ;)
Wonder if I will get more views than responses????? :eek:

Bill I saw that one last week and thought of you lol :D . I would guess 1930-40 as far as age goes. It looks like an art deco period bronze.

Just happened upon it with one minute and 40 seconds to go! Still got into a bid and counterbid with someone.
Will ask Arjan if he knows how old, but suspect that Lew is right. Deco period 1930's or so.

here another with a suberb inlayed blade,
the blade has very nice scrollwork (and a repair) the scabbard has also the same knots as a "real" one.

Very nice Arjan, does it have a flat or convex blade? How are the crowits?
That sure is a nice Batak sword you have there. I see it is sold. Must be some lucky new owner!
Warmest grins, I mean Regards!
Bill :D ;) ;)
