Jean Member Join Date: Jun 2009 Posts: 1,740	Attached are the detailed pictures of the blade shown in post 8#1. My visual observations are as follows: . The blade was in rust-free but unstained condition when I received it. After warangan treatment in Solo, the ganja colour appears clearer than the blade itself but it does not seem to be a recent replacement (greneng worn-out) and it fits quite well with the blade. . The figure carved on the gandik (putut?) does not seem to have been welded as the pamor lines show a good continuity but it could have been carved-out from a larger blade. . The atasan matches perfectly with the gandar but the slot has been reduced in sized with some putty so the blade and sheath were not originally matching. Your further observations or questions will be welcome. Regards Attached Images
