Henk this is not really the place to talk about it but think---- Napoleon's Dutch governer sent to Bali sets up armoury. Imported pattern welded blade adapted to local tastes ie etched. All research information can be found without difficulty. To help people google "Herman Willem Daendels" for a basic history.

The blade of the Ban is laminated, I will try to show this.
