Aceh peudeung restored

[Sajen]

Thank you all!
Rick, so far I know these are officer's swords which were used in the Aceh wars. But I can't tell you when these swords pop up in Aceh. I think that they are strongly influenced by the firangi swords from India, Aceh was at all times a trade spot between many cultures, India, Arabian Peninsula, European and Chinese ships coming along the Malakka street. I think that this can be seen by these swords. The high end peudeung have gold crowns on top of the handle set with diamonds. The blades differ like you can see by the posted examples and the engravings on the hand guard also.
Attached are a few more pics from my example.
