Help with info on new blades

CollectingNewbie · 4th October 2006, 06:38 AM

Just a month ago I started my collection and I dont have alot of info on any of my blades so any info would be a great help. Sorry all I have right now is the auction photos. Thanks

About the three keris I can say all three are straight bladed. The dapur is brodjol. All three keris are from Solo, Surakarta. Scabbard is for all three wrangka gajaman. The last one has a copper pendok. Pamor of the first keris is an adeg type, the other two in my opinion Beras or Wos Wutah. The mendaks are new. Three very nice keris.

The sword with pamor blade is a pedang, I think. Dress looks rather new to me and is a replacement. The blade is certainly much older than the dress.

The middle dagger of the indo persian group with ivory hilt is a khukri, from Nepal or India. Looks to me as a very nice one. But the experts on khukri can tell you more. Same for the other weapons.

I would say, nice start for a collection.

I saw on the keris forum Rick is going to delete your keris part because he moved that part, so I will copy and paste the keris piece to the keris forum.

Heres a better picture of the knives and handles, Im going to take some better pictures of my whole collection soon. I do believe that the handle of the khukri is Ivory though. Also can anyone tell me dates on any of these knives and or price ranges, I want to make sure if i did get over charged I dont make the same mistake twice. I was told that the 3 keris were, 1 from the 16th century, 1 from the 17 century and 1 from the 18th century, and what looks to me like a long sword to be from the 18th century. Ive just gone ahead and guessed that the rest of my collection is from early to late 19th century.

Thanks

From the last 3 ones the small dagger with fancy hilt is from Lebanon, 20th century. The last one with the long blade is shula dagger from Morocco late 19th or early 20th century.
Welcome to the forum. My advice is to read a lot of old threads of this forum and to invest in books. Collecting is an addiction. May the force be with you

The Decorative bone handled tourist kukri with ceramic "stones" & brass scabbard, is probably from 1940 to 1970.
