Hello Willem,

The decoration does not look Banjar/negara to me neither.

True - sorry for being terse. The silver inlay motif does look like Straits Chinese influence to me; they had a strong settlement in Banjarmassin and a lot more cultural interchange seems to have taken place there (compared to Aceh).
I can't remember having seen similar notches before though. Any similar examples (from firearms or other implements) throughout Asia?
Regards,
Kai
