Weapons of North Sumatra (Volz 1906)

Roland,
This is an absolutely fantastic contribution here! and these are perfectly illustrated examples in outstanding graphics. Though not my field of study, I very much appreciate having this kind of material to add to the corpus of data we archive on all weapons forms here.
As mentioned, comments and translated captions would be wonderful entries from the knowledge core of those in our ranks who consistently add great examples of these weapons here. It really helps to have this kind of an appendix to refer to in research.

Thank you very much!

Jim

Roland:

Thank you very much for posting these pictures. They complement other works, such as Albert von Zonneveld's more recent book on weapons of the Indonesian Archipelago. If you have the time to translate the legends to these figures, it would be greatly appreciated.

All great stuff!

Ian.

Thank you Roland for adding the plates from Volz at this place!

When I have time I will take some pictures from my kalasan.

Regards,

Thanks for the great feedback.

At the latest next weekend I will translate the legends, because they are not just contain the name but also the place of origin in many cases and other useful informations. Maybe I'm going to manipulate the picture-legends.

For example the Peudeung Pasangan (Sikin Pasangan seems to be wrong for the saber type) comes from Tawar-lake area. So I'm very sure, that the hilt symbolizes a fishtail.
