No, I didn't get it. was about a hundred low. Anyone want to bet it is a twistcore?

i've been watching that one since it was posted & even enquired about the apparent postage anomaly for inside the UK, but it rapidly went past my limit. looks like a nice blade.

Nice blade; another very nice touch is the sculpted steel(?) baca baca .
Age ?
Not sure about the core Bill but that fuller is a statement unto itself . :)

I TOO COVETED THIS KRIS :D BUT MY BID WAS LEFT BURIED DEEP IN THE DUST OF DISPAIR :p ON THE BRIGHT SIDE I WOULD BE VERY HAPPY TO SELL ALL MY KERIS IF I COULD GET THAT MUCH FOR EACH OF THEM.
PERHAPS THE NEW OWNER IS A MEMBER AND WILL SHARE SOME MORE INFO ON THIS VERY ATTRACTIVE AND INTERESTING KRIS. THERE WAS ANOTHER NICE KERIS WITH A BRASS OR BRONZE COCATOO POMMEL THAT JUST CLOSED I CAME IN SECOND ON THAT ONE BUT STILL NO CIGAR. :rolleyes:

Knowing that winning the bid is close to impossible, I put my spell effortlessly, but proven in millisecond that it is not the one I can afford. Congratulations if the new owner is a forum member!

I too placed a bid but my howitzer didn't realize that it was competing against Big Bertha :D
Congrats to the new owner, especially if he/she is a member of the forum! :)

Gav,
I would be reluctant to ask the seller to disclose this private information unless the buyer agreed.

As so many links of sold auctions lots are discussed on this site I'll ask and see what if anything is said of it, what odds are you offering on your opening bet??? :eek:

Very nice sword with original hilt & scabbard.
Be surprised if it had a twisted core.
Doubt it has a softer steel core. One of those swords that may etch nicely or may very well be mono steel.
Excellent Sulu work from the latter 19thC.

I don't see the potential for twist core here, not even a hint of it, but I do very much like the fullering.........and I have certainly been wrong before.
