 Interesting theory that these could be Banjar...plausible at any rate. I figured Bugis of some description but god knows from where. Got mine quite a long time back on Ebay from a European source. Probably the usual tourist bring-back story so the provenance is totally irretrevable. BTW, the hilt collar and buntut on mine are buffalo horn if you're considering restoring yours. 33.5cm OAL, 21.5cm blade. Last edited by DAHenkel; 30th September 2012 at 05:57 AM. |

 Nice example with the horn details.I will first try to restore it with metal, but horn will be the next possibility. Best regards, Willem |
