Thank you Maurice for the explanation.
 Someone know from which substance the red paint is done? Regards, Detlef |

Sometimes I got carried away and want to tell more than just about the sword, cause I happen to read a lot about the Bandjermasin area lately....Sorry if I bother some of the collectors who are only interested in swords and not about the situation of particular area....  I have somewhere an article which is telling about the red "paint". I try to find it soon for you. Regards, Maurice |

Usually the red color on Banjar weapons is from Dragon's blood (it is a local plant resin, not from "real" dragons).
