Excuse my ignorance , but as I said the other day, I am currently digging out items acquired long ago and I am trying to ID them. I realise this is SE Asia but that part of the world is not my forte and I get extremely confused with all the terminology , Can anyone enlighten my as to what this is called ?
Thanks. |

Look at this one. I would say it is the same sword. Do you have two of these?

Graag gedaan! Your Dutch is outstanding. By the way for the non dutch speaking members, graag gedaan means you're welcome.
Sometimes you simply cann't find your things anymore. We use to say here "ïf it was a doggie it would have bitten you." My comment on this sword is still unchanged ![]() |

My Dutch is lousy but I think we should call a spade a spade for the forum to keep its value as a resource site.
Henk, I can see why you think it might be a Penai Toraja based on parts of the hilt but I find it a bit to far fetched. If you look closer to the hilt I think it's supposed to imitate a Nias sword, which also would explain the top carvings. The blade is of course also a fantasy product. Michael |
