Aceh weapon identification
Hello,
I recently bought an estate collection that was accumulated from the 1920's-1950's. Got a few nice items for my collection but there were several items unknown to me. I identified an Aceh sikin sword using this forum . There is another similar piece I didn't find. the blade shape resembled the sikin but nuch smaller and slightly curved with a different type grip. Hopefully someone can give it a name from my pictures. The Sikin grip The sikin and the smaller piece The smaller piece with scabbard Thanks for any help matt |

Hello Matt,
Welcome to the forum! That's a nice antique sikin/peudeueng panjang with a well-carved hulu peusangan. The other blade is not from Aceh though: Seems to be a Filipino (Luzon) piece with some age (first half of 20th c.?). The blade shape is less common - what's the length? Regards, Kai |

I was hoping one of the folks that know a great deal more than I do would answer this. I am not really sure what the second piece is but my initial feeling is that the hilt looks to be from Java. I hope someone else is able to pipe in soon with better info.
added: or maybe the philippines and I am totally wrong Last edited by RhysMichael; 9th April 2009 at 12:20 AM. |
