Aceh swords

[RhysMichael]

I have again updated the page I pulled together on Achenese Peudeueng. The first of many revisions I am sure. I was reticent to post this in light of some of the posts recently on this and other forum. So, I added this part to the text there

Nothing in this should be considered new or original work on my part. Instead this is a compilation of what so many people have been kind enough to share with me, and what published material I have been able to access. I am certain there are inaccuracies here that are the result of honest mistakes. They will be corrected as I am made aware of them or find better information. That is one large advantage a web based article has. Unlike the published word wich can only be as good as the information known at the time of publishing; the web based article can be udated and changed.

If you know where I have made mistakes please let me know. I am eager to learn even more about these swords and the history behind them.

Everything on here should be taken as the work of a student of these blades and someone who is in no way an expert on them. So please question it and when there are discrpancies you should probably take the word of others here who know more about them over what I have here


Thanks for all the information that has been shared over the last few months on these and thank you all in advance for the information I am sure will shared in the future

The article is here

Picture was probably taken sometime during 1904-1910.

By 1904, most of Aceh was under Dutch control, and had an indigenous government that "cooperated" with the colonial state. Colonial influence in the remote highland areas of Aceh was never substantial, however, and limited guerrilla resistance remained. Led mostly by the religious ulema, intermittent fighting continued until about 1910, and parts of the province were still not "pacified".

Thanks for this information. I thought dating the war would be an easy thing but there seems to be a great deal of differing opinions at the time about when it actually ended. I am trying to come up with a better way to express this. Also thank you for the name to go with the picture. I will add tho the list of things to correct on the page


Utami
It may be a router your way as I have not heard of others having problems or it could have been a trasient problem on my server. Let me know if it continues and I will mail you a hard copy as I would really like your input
