Thanks Detlef and Rick!

Sorry to hear about your camera mishap! But looking forward to seeing your example once your new camera arrives. Yours sounds a lot like the one in the ethnography museum (although I think yours is fancier as I don't recall the museum's being embroidered). I stopped by there today hoping to take a picture for this thread, but it's apparently closed on Monday. I'm heading there next week with my neighbor, though, so I'll take some pictures then.

Nice peudeung with a laminanted blade.

Do you have a picture of the pommel cap ?

Here is another thread with some high quality blades.

Sure, see attached. It is a bit too simple and smooth compared to the rest of the sword, hence my suspicion that it's not original, although it's clearly been on there for a while.

Very nice basket and pommel cap on that one, too!

Here are some pictures from the (mislabeled) one in the Leiden ethnography museum (along with some other arms from India). Sorry about the dark pictures; the room is quite dark and they don't like it when you use the flash.

here are a couple of pictures from the replacement camera. It is defective and I will probably send it back; but it does take pictures after a fashion.
Sorry for the poor quality.

Very nice, Rick, thanks for adding it! Still better quality than my museum pictures.
