Jambi Klewang?
I found these two unusual klewang and suspect that they are Jambi.
What's your ideas on origin? Michael |

We definitely need a drooling smiley for all the great stuff Michael is coming up with...
 Doesn't the integral ferrule look pretty much northern Sumatra? Regards, Kai |

Thanks,
Good observation Kai. For the second Klewang an alternative possible origin could be the Mandailing people of NW Sumatra. Unfortunately there are few references on weapons of this specific Batak-related tribe. Michael |
