Hello Tom,

a beautiful sikin panjang with a so called 'peusangan' hilt.
The brass lobes are also very nice. Wonderful complete piece, in perfect condition considering its age. A very nice 19thC sikin.

These kind of hilts (hulu), with the 'broader' beaks, are called hulu 'peusangan'.
'Peusangan' is a district, located around the 'Peusangan' river in the northern part of Aceh.
Probably these kind of sikin panjangs 'peusangan' are from that region, and differ with the 'normal style' of sikin panjangs with their broad beaked hilts, and the crosspiece on top of the scabbardmouths (made from different materials, such as wood, horn or, like yours, from ivory).

I've added two drawings with sikin panjang Peusangan.
One is from the Fischer catalogue, and the other one is from Kreemer.
