Thumbs up Lombok -- Cundrik

Hi Dr D:

I was watching that one also. Almost bid on it but the exchequer is running low at the moment. Definitely an Indonesian sword, and it resembles a Cundrik from Lombok. We had a discussion about these about a year ago, and you can probably find it by searching for Cundrik.

Nice looking sword despite the blurred pictures.

Ian.

Lombok was the place I was thinking of as well. The link shows some considerable debate was had last time. I like the deep fullers and shape around the hilt.
