Some swords from Indonesia

3 Attachment(s)

I had these swords for some time and the two Aceh Sikin with Hulu Tumpang and a sword I am not completely sure about if it is from North Java or from Tanimbar. The last one has some nice Pamor and was well preserved as it still is covered in old grease. The sheath needs a small restoration on the tip as it is missing its horn end tip.
Any info on the sword is welcome.

Regards, Martin

Hi Martin,

Nice swords! The left one is from Sunda, Java IMVHO. Handle is from horn?

Hi Martin,

The foot of the scabbard from the Sunda sword will have looked like the both shown examples from older threads.

Best regards,

Would this also be a Sunda sword, and would the term "gobang" be appropriate?

Hello Dave,

Sunda yes, gobang no! ;) It's a nice Sunda pedang/sword but not a gobang.

Detlef

Hi Maurice,

I think you are on the wrong path, I don't think that you will know the person who bought it a long time ago.

Hi Detlef,

Could be indeed. I know several, but not all.
