The version 1, with floral top and heavy klewang blade, probably originated in Palembang.
The version 2, that I sent a picture of, probably originated among the Batak.

Thanks depending on what I can find on the frequency of its use in Aceh I will probably remove that from this graphic. I appreciate the help

Here is another hilt found in Aceh - the duck tail or hulu iku ite.
In the Leiden catalogues the resembling klewang anyway were collected in that area.

I had read about this style hilt in articles by Barbara Leigh but I had never seen one before. This is great thanks. Can I use these pictures ?
