i would guess that you awn a quite nice bade bade.

Very, very nice piece. Congratulations!!!

Very nice!

But it doesn't look like Bali.
That style of floral hilt and scabbard is found mostly in the Padang High-/Lowlands
(W Sumatra) but also around Banjarmasin (S Borneo).
My guess for this one is Sumatra.
I think it looks best with a bone tip.

Very nice piece. I think Sumatra, too. Congratulations.

Thanks for the info, guys.

Sometimes it's hard to find the right description or origin.

Can anyone show me a picture of how the tip should look like ? I already searched for bade-bade and there the tip is asymmetrical.

It is a badek from Sumatra. The round tip of the scabbard is inserted in the V incission in a contrasting wood, bone or ivory. Nice find.

Freddy,
I just remembered where I have seen this kind of Badek before -
on my own wall.

I got mine from Adni and he described it as a Karih.
As you know all Indonesian blades have several names...
