Hello Kravser,

Indeed, using the search mode on "Aceh "and/or "Atjeh" will give you a lot to see and read.

Please also check out the dutch website of our own forumite "JONNO" ;

http://www.atchin.nl/Atchin/Atjeh_wa...eh_wapens.html

And just for the fun I am adding pictures of :
1. A happy bunch of armed warriors from Aceh, and
2. A display of weapons used in the Ache war from our former army museum in Delft.

Best regards,
Willem

Another question: can fighters of Free Aceh Movement use the renchong and other aceh weapons?

How is called the Aceh sword? Peudeung or pedang?

Peudeung, or also peudeueng is the curved sword with the baskethilt.
Try the search function on this one.
Several high end examples have been posted or discussed in the past.

Gentleman, might i make the suggestion that instead of referring to slide shows on PhotoBucket or other picture hosting servers that we make a concerted effort to post images on these pages. I realize this isn't as easy as simply providing a link, but a week, a month, a year or more down the line when your slide show is no longer on that server your link will be useless and any discussion that was generated around it will be meaningless to our members who have searched our archives for this thread for further info. Our hope is to build an archive of images for such further research. Your cooperation in that effort is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

These are warriors from the Gayo district!

And what weapons used by the Acehnese warriors in XV - XIX centuries? The same? Maybe they had something turkish?
