Hi Maurice,

No pictures, sorry
I totally forgot this thread, and so did others (Ben / picture of hair)

It can be found in the sold items at orientalarms.co.il for the moment

Best regards,

Ben,

Could you produce a thread showing examples and details of older vs. later mandaus.

I think it would be very informative.

Some side-by-side examples would be excellent.

Hi, Mandaukudi. You have a very nice mandau over there. I have been reading you, speaking of sizes, but, may I ask you for some measures of your piece? How thick is the blade at it´s beginning? Sorry, I can´t figure mesures without knowing the proportions. Thank you very much for your attention.
Regards
