A Brief Look at Sumatran Swords (Pedangs, Parangs, Klewangs)

CharlesS · 31st May 2007, 03:32 PM

I apologise for the somewhat confusing alignment of pics, but this the work of the site's automatic attachment manager, and not my own choice. The correction has been made...now the pics are in the correct order.

Wow. Next time I'm in NC I need to stop by and see your collection, Charles.

You should consider focusing on these gorgeous swords and ridding yourself of all dha...

Thanks Andrew, but ridding myself of my dha????....I ain't had that many Mint Julips!!!

Thank you very much Charles

Fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't sit still of excitement.
This is indeed a great collection of Sumatran swords you have gathered.
Heaviest sword O.D. I have had for a long time.

Hey Charles

Great swords

. Now can you leave some for us other guys to buy

Btw that #11 sword was on my shopping list but I thought you would be going for it and I did not want to get into a bidding war with a friend so I passed on it and I am glad you won it.

Many thanks guys. Unfortunately, I am now noticing an error that you have probably already picked out....the close-up with a pamor blade attributed to #10, is actually #9. #10 has a wootz blade.

Charles,

It is best to upload these picture one at a time. THEN they stay in order.

VERY NICE!!!

CharlesS · 1st June 2007, 12:32 PM

Thanks Bill,

Took your advice, and re-ordered them. That's a nice thing to remember for the future. Thanks again.

Hi Charles
You may have been following it already but in the keris warang kopi forum there has been a very interesting discussion on the so called death shroud or corpse wrapping pamor and the fact that it should probably be called the slanted wrapping pamor (or rope pamor if you are in Bali).
