Indeed very exiting and an extremly rare find to have a name at all let alone a name that can be traced and is inlaid in gold - very very nice

Congrats !!
Very nice addition to any collection. Military weapons that can be traced are plenty around... But tribal named is rare, and than even tracable to the original owner.  Still hoped it would say "send me to Willem"   Very nice find. And in such good condition. Where did you find it ? dutch collection ? |

I'd like to know if these types of sikim belonged to panglimas in general or those just part of the royal palace?
