Thanks David
unfurtunately for my pockets I like too many kind of weapons (kris, sikin, arm daggers, golok)......  I think that the scabbard is original but it's possible that the mouth piece is a replecement. What I really like is the handle and the decorations on it  Flavio

Hi Flavio
Nice to here from you. I thought you would have found a nice spear head or some arrow heads on your dig oh well maybe next time. Very nice Sikin congrats! Lew |

Thank you Bill, Lou and Jose!!
Lou, we have found many arrow heads in obsidian, I hoped to find also some bronze objects since the village is dated to the early bronze age, but we wasn't so lucky

Welcome back Flavio!
Nice sword with a beautiful hilt. I also suspect that the scabbard is later than the blade and hilt. Michael |
