There were some tiny flecks of paint. The white bits in the picture are some loose flecks of paint but mostly remants of tissue paper.

Nice one
Nice one Tim, gambles are good when they pay off.
I too have one here with a nice patina and no carvings to the shaft. Has anyone ever ventured out on to a soft lawn and tried throwing these things....ummmmm I know I have....whats the point of having a toy if you can't play with it.... The strength and hardness of an Ula is very appealling to me. Congrats. Gav |

There is a tall ship that ports in Lunenberg called the Picton Castle that does regular sails around the world with a regular stop in Fiji and they have quite a few nice new ulas and war clubs. But they are beatiful sculptural carvings and i would throw one of them out on my lawn either. They also make stops in Bali, but none of the keris they bring back are ever worth bothering with.
