I did the translation in my school english so it isn't perfect but its readable.
so here it is for all who's interested in mandaus... http://www.mytribalworld.com/pagina89.html

Good Work Arjan!
I was happy to be able to read the Dutch language, but it is a good thing other collectors are able now to read this very old interesting article.
By the way I like the addition of the handles and the blade.
Is the one, on the additional image with those stars on the blade, in your own collection? Wow, never seen the stars like those in real!
