HEMBRUG KLEWANG (HUMBREG)

OK. Was it ended by a purchase? I had understood that it has been relisted several times. If it's been sold, there is no problem with taking up the discussion again. I have to consider whether putting back the posts (in whole or in part) is appropriate, though.

The auction ended by way of purchase. If you log onto that item on e-bay, it says the item has ended.

Mark,

Thank you for deleting the posting on that klewang. It was relisted several times. The seller listened to me and Arny and even changed his description and added the word "FAKE". The seller is a real nice guy and honest. I don't think it will show up soon.

Putting back the posts? Don't know. The only thing we do, is showing that a possible German klewang was upgraded in a bad way to "HEMBRUG klewang" in the search for more money. With that action a good piece was ruined.

Just leave it and lets concentrate on the interesting discussion as you adviced.

Thanks Mark and Henk.

I'm still attempting to find out what the following means and was found stamped on my Dad's Hembrug Klewang. P.A.K. 380
Anyone want to take a stab at it? Pardon the pun.

Arny,

The only thing I can think of is that P.A.K. 380 is a serial number. Klewang and scabbard used to be numbered.

Yes, most likely, Bedankt Henk.

Arny,

I found out what the meaning is of the marking P.A.K. 380 on your klewang.
The P. means that this klewang belonged to the police forces. Mostly one or two characters followed the P. Those characters where the indication of the district. A.K. was the district Papoea New Guinea. 380 was the inventory number of the klewang.
That means that your klewang belonged to a police officer in Dutch service on Papoea New Guinea.
