ID help needed on Sumatra sword
I recently got this small sword (blade is 40cm).
It originates from a weapons collection (both European and Ethnographic) that was collected before 1940. I was able to acquire some items. This short sword I cannot identify positively. My guess is Sumatra - possibly a Batak Andar Andar with a variation hilt - sukul jering. The handle is horn. Who knows more - all input welcome! Regards, Erik |
