Thank you Kai for your kind message !
The infos are really helpful !
For the brass(?) 3+ crowns,
I just wonder if the all gold mounted multi crowns sikin panjangs were just ceremonials weapons ( with the ivory scabbard...)
and the brass mounted, less soft than gold , for ''real battle weapons''
as the samuraïs did when they alternate the koshirae on their swords
between battle/ceremonial
I read too about suasa gold and the islamic position about to much gold on weapons, maybe there is a clue here ?...
