Like promised, will show them piece by piece with a short description. Starting with the piece on the left side in up (second picture #9).

Sewar with handle and scabbard mouth made from black horn, scabbard stem seems to be from wood lacquered with resin (?) black, scabbard fittings from mamas (a nickel alloy), blade with a tiny fuller near the spine. I am uncertain which part of Sumatra this style is coming from.

31 cm inside scabbard, 29 cm without, blade 22,4 cm.
