Hi, Could you please ask the owner for permission to post pics of the finished piece? I'd love to see it and I guess this nice piece won't be accessible to the interested public again anytime soon... Thanks a lot!

BTW, which part(s) of Borneo do the owner's ancestors come from and what are their ethnic roots? (That's a vast and diverse area and any details might be of academic interest as far as this sword is concerned!)

Regards,
