Does that mean you got my email?

Still in negotiations... once I know one way or the other, I'll post those pics to the thread.

As much as I am appreciative of the continued interest in these pieces, I must also ask for your continued patience, gentlemen.

I am still trying to work a deal for it, and don't want to risk jinxing its acquisition by posting it until I know one way or the other - hopefully I'll be able to post it by this weekend...

Well, two weeks of attempted negotiation ended with a giant FAIL.

The seller of this kris turned out to be more fickle than a bipolar pregnant teenager. In the end, he decided to go for a quick buck rather than work with me to keep the collection together. While grateful for having had the opportunity to acquire the three pieces I did, this is tempered somewhat by this individual's apathy towards the historical provenance of these pieces and the historical significance to two cultures.

Anyway, now that I will not be adding this kris to the three blades that had previously belonged to Brig. Gen. Brett, I am posting the photos of, well, the "kris that got away."
