Default Weapons of North Sumatra (Volz 1906)

Hello,

I hope, this pictures are for others as interesting as for me.

This are pictures from a german Expedition book through North Sumatra in 1904-1906.

The informations in this book are invaluable, two books of the nature and human life in Sumatra almost untouched by the western civilisation.

There are only some pages about weapons but they are also incredible. About the origin of the Rentjong for example and many many more.

If someone is interested, i can make some translations.

I believe it could be nice to see some real examples. I start with a Batak Kalasan with Sukul Nganga hilt as a dagger with an old high quality Taka-blade.


Best wishes,
Roland
