Hello Mr. Maisey,

the question if my sheat is from silver or not don't let me quiet, so I just come back from a goldsmith: My sheat is from high grade silver! Never know before that I have something real special with this sheat. What's funny, I buy this sheat some years ago here in Germany on weapon market and not in Indonesia.

I ask him also if he can sell the silver-test to me. This is not possible in Germany because it is a risky acid.

That's great Sajen.

As I said, I have never seen or handled one of these in silver.

You often find good things outside Indonesia, and with older items it is becoming increasingly difficult to find good things within Indonesia --- and when you do, they want an arm and a leg for them.

You can't buy acid?

That silver test is not particularly strong.Really gives me a pain the way modern society is so set on protecting people from themselves. If it was up to me I would not ban anything --- except maybe seat belts. All the fools would soon kill themselves and we'd have a better gene pool.

Hello Mr. Maisey,

the goldsmith test it like I have seen it many times by gold-test, he cratch some material at a schist stone and then he put this acid on and it get a red colour, the sign that it is silver like he told me.

I think that I will found a way to get the silver test, it will need maybe some time, but what I want to get normally I get.
And I agree with you complete, the state going to incapacitate the people and forbid them nearly everything.
