RENCONG SCABBARD - translation request

asomotif · 6th August 2018, 12:46 PM

Inspired by Gustav's splendid sikin, I found that I still have some pictures of a rencong scabbard with inscription.

Hopefully this will be something ledgible.

Best regards,
Willem

I received the pictures of a fellow collector,
The entire weapon is a bit odd. the handle is not Original imo.

Bumping for some kind assistance on this (IMHO) unusual inscription.

One person who might be able to translate the jaws is out of commission temporarily.

Bumping this one.

Best regards,

I must agree Willem - not an original (or traditional) hilt.

Hi Willem,

The first sentence is legible enough to be translated. It reads :

"Sarung sikin (?) Tengku Fishar" or "Sikin (?) sheath of Tengku Fishar (Fashar?)"

I hope this helps. I could not make up the second sentence though.
