Hi Buddy,

Nice catch, congratulations!

I hope that I can see it during your next visit my friend.

Here some pictures from the first three pieces side by side. Will take some additional pictures from the fourth one soon.

A rather new addition to the small bedok collection, again an example from 1930-1940, handle like the first example with birds head, blade without any marks. 37 cm long inside scabbard, 36 cm without and the blade 23 cm, a little bit over 10 mm thick blade near the handle.
The last picture show it together with the 19th century example.

Very nice examples, even the newer one.

You have taught us a lot about these.
