Hello Maurice,

I believe your blade is pretty recent; I'm not sure it was produced on Sumatra either.

I haven't seen any antique northern Sumatran blade with fossil elephant molar fittings - I'd guess those folks were just too much concerned about durability and other practical issues...

Regards,
Kai
