Here the one from Muller, collected in the early 1800's.
Unfortunately never have seen this one in real and took it just from the Leiden database... |

That is a nice one at Bronbeek. I don't remember seeing that one in the depot. + congrats Michael. I did not know the name and origin of this parang, and was not aware how rare it was when I saw it the first time. Now I know, I will just have to wait for a second one to come for sale  ( I am still young and hope to continue collecting for 20 or 30 years  )Best regards, Willem |

But to be honest, my preference is going to the flower motif at Michael's scabbardtip instead of the "overdone" carvings on the Bronbeek one. Yes I know, I know..... I've a weird taste... ;-) Quote:
The first time we could have a glance on it also, and amongst a few you were there too. We did make some images than also.. Maybe the attached images will refresh your mind a bit? You can see our overshoes on one of them we had to carry.. :-) Last edited by Maurice; 10th January 2014 at 07:37 AM. |
