My example is 1.70 m. But it looks like it has been slightly longer in the past. |

Another atjeh aceh lance spear
Last week I was lucky enough to buy an rare atjeh lance.
I was wondering where I had seen this type before. Well on the forum ofcourse :-) I bought it from the son of the person who brought it to the Netherlands in 1923. |

Congratz Willem with your nice find.
Are the protrusions in between the brass sleeve and the lancehead a silver alloy or silver? - Maurice - |

Nice example, Willem!

I'd guess at brass or bronze. It does have a different hue but does not strike me as silver alloy... Regards, Kai |

After closer examination of the photo, I'm agreeing with Kai - bronze, more likely brass based on the color of the different patinas and types of patinas.

It has a brass colour, but It was quite easy to get it shining. Best regards, Willem |

Danny,
That is a beautiful piece you have, a treasure. Thank you for posting. I picked this one up a while back and have been meaning to do some more research on it. I knew that it must be SE Asia, but I wasn't sure where exactly it should be placed. Your post has given me a big head start so thought I would share here to add to the discussion. Looks like I should be looking at Ache. Can you tell what type of wood the haft is? I just picked up another that I believe is Moro and it has a lovely tapered haft of palm wood (2.26M total length). I wouldn't mind giving this one a new haft at some point, but if I do I want to do it with an appropriate wood. |

Hello Efrahjalt,
That is definately an atjeh spear head you have there. The example that I posted has a sort of rottan as a shaft. But that is not very common. Most atjeh lances I have seen have a dark hardwood shaft. Best regards, Willem |

I was very interested to learn about the shaft made of rottan. The natural materials used to make traditional weapons in Southeast Asia is a very exciting area for me. Sincerely Serge |
