Hi David,
This does look like a spearhead...an Indonesian tumbak perhaps...the lines remind me of some Moro budiak... Cheers, Emanuel |

Thank you Battara and Marcokeris for your comments, could this dagger still be from the SEA region..... perhaps it would be better to add more pictures/details when the dagger is delivered .

The dagger has arrived, no markings, flattened diamond in cross section. Double edged and still sharp. 'Hot pin' test of the handle revealed it is definately of animal origin.....but what animal
![]() ![]() Without doubt this is a stabbing weapon, the blade is approx. 7mm thick (central ridge) and seems very 'robust' Patina suggests mid 19th C to early 20 th. .... any suggestions to origin and use would be greatly appreciated... Regards David |
