Can't say it better! Have followed the auction, one of the best items for long time by ebay! Think the handle is done original this way, the very nice patination seems to be very old. Regards, Detlef |

A nice catch Charles,
I think it's a nice old Javanese badek! Could be an old restoration, but not necesarrily, as in Central Java there are old types of swords with handles from horn and bone, or even three materials made... Maurice |

I agree with Detlef that it is "one of the best items for long time on ebay."
Good for you that I somehow missed it  Michael |
