That was exactly the reason for me to share the images here.

I'm glad you appreciate my posting!

I too would like to thank you Maurice, the images you have provided add a great depth to styles and design elements not often seen.

Yes thanks for the pics - nice pieces. Although I would argue about the keris - looks more like bronze rather than copper.

Maybe I should post some more images?

Maurice · 13th August 2010, 12:33 AM

Well, no weapons but I post them anyway!
Let's say these items where exhibited between the weapons..
