Hi KraVseR,
I think if you will use the Search icon above and use just the word "Aceh" you will get a good number of old threads regarding Aceh edged weapons.

OK, and what about firearms?

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_wapens/Atjeh_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

When I click on image in last post, I see "This album is Password-Protected.". :shrug:
And could you share photos of Acehnese warriors? Here are depicted they?

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! :)

YES WE HAVE BEEN THRU SEVERAL PERIODS WHEN SERVERS WENT AWAY WHICH HAS PROVIDED MANY DISCUSSIONS WHICH NO LONGER MAKE SENSE IN THE ARCHIVES AS ALL THATS LEFT OF PICTURES AND INFORMATION IS THE DEADLY RED X.
THE CURRENT FORUM SYSTEM FOR POSTING PICTURES HAS WORKED VERY WELL FOR QUITE A WHILE NOW SO HOPEFULLY THAT PROBLEM IS SOLVED.

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.

Thank you. And what about Free Aceh Movement? Could they use this cold weapon?
Can you help with the transcription of the word "Peudeung"? [pedeng]?

1.: Free Aceh Movement. I guess they will use automatic assault rifles...
2. try google, I easily found this translation.
" In a correspondence with Dominique Buttin, he informed the that, "The name Peudeung means sword, which is the same meaning as Podang from the Batak or Pedang from the Javanese. "

Yes, guns - it's obvious. But apart from that they also have some cold weapons?
I'm sorry, I can not find anything. Can be pronounced, and "pedang" and "podang", and "pedeng", right?

the word in western letters is an approximation of the local pronunciation, thus the multiple spellings for essentially the same word spoken in different local dialects by the native users. transliteration of words into characters not designed for the original language results in a lot of variations which are essentially the same. english speakers hear 'pedang' while a dutch speaker may hear 'peudeung' and the native speaker may not recognise either, even if he knows english or dutch...
even english has vowel drift from england to australia, india, australia, nz, etc.. with a's drifting to e's or i's over time. we understand aussies but their vowels come out funny. pronunciation in england can vary in two places just a few miles apart. it's a wonder anyone understands anyone else.

that reminded me of the other edged weapon used in aceh - by the dutch - their traditional european blades proved too long and cumbersome for the rain forests, so the general designed a shorter cutlass to equip his men with. originally made in solingen, they were made all the way up to ww2 in hembrug and the USA (milsco) copied them exactly. known as the dutch klewang: {mine attached} also discussed ad nauseum here in various threads

Thank you, this is what I read. but what about the cold arms of the Free Aceh? Although in theory they could use the same klewang, renchong?
