Thank you so much!
One day when I grow up, I'll own an example just like this.  One more request: would you post a picture of the end of the pommel please? |

Unlike Jose, I have little hope of progressing to adulthood. If it hasn't happened yet, I doubt the day will arrive.
Meanwhile, a few pics of my crowned rencong. When I purchased it, I thought it was an unhappy marriage between blade and sheath. The seller told me that its rattling around in the large opening was typical of the are; I doubt it, as every other example of weaponry I have from the area is pretty snug. But who can say? Anyway, there seems to be traces of gold in the punched decoration on one side of the piece. I assume the rest has been worn off over the years. |

Nice Bob. I agree - there was originally gold in those worn down engraved grooves.
