Hi Marius,

Thanks a lot for the first comment! Tombak means spear in Indonesian language. That it's a repurposed spear tip was clear but I am unsure about its origin since I never have seen a similar spear tip before. Is it indeed a spear tip from Sumatra? And is the metal work indeed Sumatran? Could it be Malay work? Or from elsewhere? This was my intention.

Best regards,
Detlef
