Strange Indonesian combo with a provenance
It's a shame that the proper blade of this Balinese ceremonial dagger got lost.
But obviously someone did his own creative solution adding a Javanese keris blade to this beautiful scabbard and handle.  The price of this combination dagger however leaves a margin for the winner to find a Balinese blade and make it complete again. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=160265117206 Michael |

Yes, I watched this one too. They don't coem along that often
But finding a matching and fitting blade will not be easy I think.

I also was watching this. But, like you said, finding a Balinese blade that would fit this sandang walikat scabbard....
 Saw one a lot like this at the Japanese sword show in San Francisco. Should have grabbed it when I first saw it, but walked around doing some more looking at the Nihonto, and it was gone when I got back. |

Yes, maybe it will be a long term project to find a matching dagger.
I have been looking for one of these for years and this Summer I was very lucky. At a local auction house in a small Scandinavian city, that usually doesn't have anything within my interest, I found this one. Michael |

Nice - now that is how a Balinese ceremonial piece should be.
