Hello Kai Wee,

will try to take some pictures by daylight at the weekend. But have to agree, I also have never seen a hilt like this from Sumatra. I miss especial the sharp pronounced "ears" normally seen at jawa deman hilts from Sumatra. Nevertheless I tend as well to think it is from Sumatra.

Regards,
