Hello Detlef,

Your example has slightly better carvings. more relief.

I would like to see more examples if someone on the forum have them in their collection.

Thank you very much for sharing your two beautiful examples. Even when the blade of your first example have luk it is clearly to seen that they belong to the same "family". And by your second example it is certain that it is a badik. At the first glance I have thought that my example is a remounted spear tip, now I know that it was meant to be this way. It is every time very helpful to see other examples.

Yes, sharing reference pictures at this forum is educating.
I haven't seen any Salayer daggers with 'sangkuh-style' blades before like yours and Willem's.
