More info about Atjeh weapons?

I am travelling at the moment but the answer is in the book of Barbara Leigh, Hands of Time. Maybe an other forumite can add her description of both how the weapons are made and the formula for the Aceh gold mix?
On those Rencong, Aceh Sewar etc. I have seen I have the impression that it's gold on, usually, silver.
The gold being thicker on the crowns than at the hilt.
Maybe because there are more details on the crown?
