Hi Jim,

Lol, Hudeidao and Batt jum dao means butterfly swords because there are 2 blades like the wings of a butterfly, so a one bladed sword is not a Butterfly sword, therefore a single blade one...

Hi David,

It's always good to search on Peter's site as on other dealers' sites (also when dealers could be wrong also) to learn about cold weapons! ;)

Hello David,

It's a rather nice South-West Chinese Shundao, 19th century, they come in many variations. It's not a river pirate knife. See here for example: ...

Hello Jose,

Agree with Ian, a very nice ivory hilt but a very unusual carving for a Tausug hilt. The scabbard of the keris could be Malay but the blade doesn't strike me as Malay.

Martin, I find this archaic sword shape utterly fascinating. Unfortunately, they are usually extremely expensive; apparently, I'm not the only one who finds them captivating. Not long ago, two were...

Hi Ian,

I think that this one is described correctly from the auction house and I think like you that it's a 19th century piece.

Look at this picture, in down, near the ferrule, the original colour (brown) is seen, the gray colour seem to be a coating of some sort.

Hi Martin,

Like said before, the blade is beautiful. While I've seen red painted scabbards I never have seen them in blue.
And I am nearly sure, that the hilt (I think it's wood) is coated by...

I also think that the keris is Sumatran but I am not sure from where exactly. South Sumatra? Minangkabau?

Yes agreed, put it on a stand and not on this keris! I would call it Putra Satu. Collectors seem to agree on this name, if it's correct or not! ;)
