Thank you Detlef,

Interesting these images, do you have the the books by Volz? I like all the variations in weapons shown by you.

This type of Rencong i found on the museum collection of the Met collection where it had the following description:

Dagger (Bade-bade) with Sheath
Sumatran, possibly Acheen

16th–19th century

This one also has a sleeve different than the crowned versions.

And Detlef, your rencong with akha bahar is also a beautiful example.

Thanks for chiming in, Detlef, while I was experiencing a busy time!

I see where you're coming from regarding a possible Gayo attribution. Martin, could you please provide a pic of the scabbard with the blade inserted (best position)? Also, does it feel like an original fit?

BTW, I and Gavin have both volumes by Volz - any additional details you like, Martin?

Regards,
Kai
