it is an good idea to tell the forummembers what you would like buy ore swap in the next future.
i´m an collector from indian straight bladed swords. i search khanda swords with good quality blades and good baskethilts. also at my wishlist is an sossun patah with an khanda basket hilt and reinforced back.
maybe some one would like sell such an sword , please let me know it... :)

I had a wonderful soussan pata from Rsword, but then sold it to Charles to get my wonderfully rare ivory kampilan. I too am in the market for a good soussan pata.......(and a Balkan yataghan in silver and coral, a silver or ivory junggayan kris, etc.....)

Probably even better to post items wanted in the Swap forum Chevalier .

Keep your eyes on Swap for a 16.5" bladed Barung . ;) :D

Any day now ..... :)

Wish lists.

When I started to collect keris I had a very simple wish list:- I wanted every keris that I could find.

All of them.

By my early thirties I had over 3000 keris.

These days I want knowledge more than I want keris.

Well said Alan,
The mind holds a hell of a lot more than any collection ever can .




Still, we all suffer from the desire to posses the tangible . ;)

My Wish List
....to acquire any old, used weapon that had meaning to it's original owner irrespective of the weapon's monetary value or status :cool: Something that when I hold it in my hands .....I can 'feel' its history...and have the privilege of cherishing it like the original owner once did.

Swords I would like in that category would be a 1796 Pattern Sabre, A wootz bladed Shamshir, a Moro Kris , a 18th Century Katana , an Ancient Egyptian Kopesh and a genuine, pattern welded Viking Sword......some are well out of my financial league ;) :D .....but, for any generous souls.... it's my birthday in 7 months time ;)

That exactly describes my early dha-collecting strategy.
