Correctly Identifying a Borneo Sword

[VVV]

Hi Thor,

If you bought lot 7180 at your local auction house today the blade is a TK.
(Its hilt, however, seems to be an odd combo?).

The article is E Bank. 1935. Hoplology in Sarawak, The Sarawak Museum Journal, IV (14): 229-241.

Good luck and please post the pictures later.

Hi Michael,

Touche! I've recently been massacred by a couple of nasty bills, and It's been a while since I've had any additions. This however, was an extremely cool gift from my even cooler mom in law.

Thank you so much for the reference, looking forward to checking it out.


Take care, - Thor

Cool mother in law you have found. I have never heard before about any "of those" buying swords for their sons in law.

I have been trying to find the article:
E. Banks. 1935. Hoplology in Sarawak, The Sarawak Museum Journal, IV (14): 229-241.
Unfortunately I didn't succeed.
Can anyone help me to find a copy?
