Actually Jeff, 50 or 60 years ago, Stone was about all we had.

You can find info in the little volume "Indonesisce Schwertgriffe" (some 40 pages, mostly dedicated to mandau hilts). It s an article from "Annalen des K.K. Naturhistorischen Hofmuseum", written in Wien in 1899 by Dr Franz Steindacher.
I have found it at Aquila Natural History Books through Abebooks. email: aquilabooks@planet.nl. Unfortunately (for me) it is written in German. But I could enjoy the good drawings .... |

Hello Giovanni,
I reckon you mean the paper by Wilhelm Hein (rather than Steindachner)? That's an important source, indeed. However, there is no similar hilt included in this study. Regards, Kai |

Yes Kai, you are right. The author is Wilhelm Hein. Steindacher is the collector of articles composing the "annalen" of the museum. |
