Bullets and blades

Bill M · 22nd March 2005, 07:39 PM

OK, Ian opened this topic. Just have to let y'all know about another bullet riddled item. With 51 bids and $280 closing price I feel like getting out my shotgun and raising some prices on some otherwise junk.

Seriously, I can't believe that people bid on this.

But, Bill, it appeared on TV -- in Australia. It MUST be worth a lot if it's been shown on TV.

Got this pic on the net.

Are those bullet marks in the barong? i can see at least two.

Could be, but hard to say with such a small image.

BTW, that is an unusually large barung and hardly qualifies as a concealed weapon -- wonder how he got close enough to do any damage without being detected carrying such an obvious weapon.

Not sure he did. They could be bullet-marks, or dirt, or whatever, but they sure could be....On further examination I think what's on the blade might be blood......

Looks more like plain old gore to me .

Yeah, blood and/or glop; possibly even mud from the ground; I can't decide how wet it looks; maybe some staring............I originally started examining the blade surface in hopes the lines were etched lamination; wouldn't that be interesting in an old photo?........

It does look like a full length rattan skin wrap.
