Default Rencong with Hulu Puntung /rank or status ?
Recently I bought a rencong with hulu puntung and the seller claimed that this type of hilt indicated a high rank within the village.

Based on the information I have, status is mostly determined by the materials (ivory/ silver / gold) and not by the shape.

Any opinions / info on this subject ?

Best regards,
Willem
