Wanted: Rencong dandan

Hello,

I'm hoping to find a Rencong with a hilt (Hulu) style called "Dandan". See picture please.

Dandan is a variation of hulu reportedly originating with the Gayo sub-ethnic group of the Aceh. This hilts are made from the very white ivory tusk of manatees. The hilt and pommel are similar in shape to the rencong meucugek but are much thinner and truncated.

Any leads or offers will be much appreciated!
