Default Kris, Wedung, sikkin parang from Fleemarket to share

Hi folks

2weeks ago I had some luck on a fleemarket. I bought a kris ( 50€) a sikkin Parang (60 € ) and a wedung (70 € ) from the same dealer.

The blade of the kris seems to be pamor after I have cleaned a small area. I think it is well made and in a good condition with some rust at the tip, but it will easy to clean and etch it up a little bit. As I know it is from bali. The hulu seems to be newer, and looks not be used over a long time. Any detailed information will be welcome.

The parang is typical. I had a same in my collection before. But I can‘t let it there alone without his 2 friends ;-) The german dealer comes from near the netherlands border. Maybe he will find some more for me.

The Wedung seems to have a laminated blade. Any information about the age and so on will be welcome.



Best regards

Thomas

Hi Thomas. Seems you are presenting apples, oranges and peaches all at once.
Despite the fact that you acquired these all in the same place i would recommend that you at least start a separate thread on the keris forum if you would like to get the most out of your discussion on that particular blade.
