I have bought recently this badik similar weapon by ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/160736169929...84.m1439.l2649
The blade is maybe from an old spear point and nearly 26 cm long, handle, crosspiece of the sheath and "buntut" are from kemuning wood and sheath middle part, stem are from sena (?) wood and very well worked in my opinion. the handle have unfortunately an old age crack. The pictures are from the seller, if someone want I can post additional pictures. Anyone like to comment? Regards, Detlef |

Nice catch and a very good price, too!
Based on the dress it might come from the small pirate island of Salayar (S Sulawesi). Michael |
