G'day Detlef,

Here it is. Quite apart from the fact it is a wonderful old "Bugis/Malay" blade (Sumatran/Riau?) in excellent condition, it has an old paper label attached with the following inscription: "1809 Kriss Malais 490-".

Absolutely gutted to think US customs destroyed it, but I retain a (very) slim hope it might still be out there somewhere; in which case, I would greatly appreciate it if the VS forumites could keep an eye out for it.

With thanks, Adam
