Rawit for sharing and opinion

We talked about a similar piece, quite some time ago.

Similar try : almost identical

Difficult to guess age, Detlefs example is maybe unused and very well preserved. If it is recent, I would be amazed by the quality carving.
I vote for well preserved.
The blades of batak weapons are often simple unlayered. This blade does not give me the idea of being newly made.

Best regards,

Hi Willem,

you give me hope! The nice carving on my one let me think or hope that it is a genuine rawit.

Could also be the same piece. I sold it quite some time ago.

I don't think so, your one was missing some bands, the colour of the horn was different and so far I can see was the handle not splitted.

Hello Freddy,

this one and the one Colin show us in this thread: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...ighlight=rawit, let me look for one. And Willem is correct, they look very similar.
