Wow !
Very nice classic example of a celebes badik. The rings are not uncommon, but normally the are on the flat side of the scabbard. and higher. |

Hi Gene,
Not my area as you know but it's a handsome looking piece and a really nice addition to your "extensive armoury". My Regards, Norman. |

Hi Gene,
very nice Sulawesi badik! The loops are maybe a later addition from the owner. Some of my ones have later added belt clips. Here a group picture from some of mine. Best, Detlef |

I found them on the website of RMV, Leiden. Always handy for reference, as they have old pieces. Best regards, Willem |

A very lovely badek. I would say one of the better pieces. The loops are a later addition placed over the silver work.
