I'm sorry to see these haven't created more discussion. I wish I had something to add as I find these interesting. Did the culture use straight blades as well?

![]() And yes, there are straight blades as well but normally not by these "type c" swords which are attributed to the Antoni people. Timor has many different ethnic groups, look for further information here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timor And it's different when we speak about Timor (we mean normally this island) or when Indonesian people speak about Timor, they mean the complete Eastern Small Sunda Islands including Alor, Savu, Roti, Wetar and so on. See also "Traditional Weapons Of The Indonesian Archipelago", when you have this book. Attached is a picture of my South West Timor sword "type d" described by the same source.

Very nice to see these three, thank you for posting. Like others I sometimes spend weeks or even months away from this forum, and then have a good old trawl through on all the new posts.
