Hi Willem,
Both nice axamples but that top one is a beauty.
Where are they?
Do you have pictures of the blades?

Thanks

Hi Gene,

I found them on the website of RMV, Leiden.
Always handy for reference, as they have old pieces.

Best regards,
Willem

A very lovely badek. I would say one of the better pieces. The loops are a later addition placed over the silver work.
