Hello Willem,

So the piece might be Atjeh, but there is no direct link to that region.
IMHO it's the rattan knots which heavily sway things towards Borneo; and the Banjar/Negara area sure looks like a nice fit to me.

sorry guys, in the Netherlands we know these weapons mostly from the Aceh war
Most surviving examples may well be from that war but as Maurice indicated, these were, of course, also widely used in the other conflicts throughout the archipelago, including subduing the Banjar sultanate. BTW, has anyone studied colonial blunderbusses in detail?

Regards,
Kai
