Nothing like a nice rentjong (besides nice mandaus etc. etc )

The suasa/copper combination is almost the same as one in my collection.

Thank you Ben, it's true that the sikin scabbard are made of very light wood (at least the only one that I have ) and so it's normal that in most of the case tey are long time gone
