Hi fellow forum members,
I have attached photos of a piece in my collection which I know arrived in Scandinavia in the early 20th century, while it does fit the description from Henk as being authentic mandau, I have over the years been looking for any evidence (drawings or photos) of this keris actually being used, perhaps one of the members have the proof I seek.

Frankly, I have considered this piece to be an early tourist keris, but then again in the early 20th century, I for one would not like to be a tourist in Irian Jiya.
