Good eye Rick...there are two more listed in photo #26.

I was awestruck by the weaponry, literally, and especially noticed the kris with the clamshell guard, something I've never seen before.
The wide range of hilts and sizes of various weapons also show that there is MUCH to the field that we are unaware of, even following authorotative texts, and I suspect many atypical pieces have been erroneously passed off as hoaxes, fakes or compilation pieces in the recent past.
What a beuatiful series of photos!!
Engar, thank you ever so much.
