I found these two unusual klewang and suspect that they are Jambi.
What's your ideas on origin? Michael |

We definitely need a drooling smiley for all the great stuff Michael is coming up with...

Thanks,
Good observation Kai. For the second Klewang an alternative possible origin could be the Mandailing people of NW Sumatra. Unfortunately there are few references on weapons of this specific Batak-related tribe. Michael |
