Hi Kronckew :D

Yes .

Also a great lance Danny! Again congratulations.
Keep those two spears together with that provenance.
It would be a pity to part them (or part them with me only ;) ).
Unfortunately there was a lot more, which we didn't catch... :-(

At least it is good to know that all these items are not touched by collectors during the years, cause it is coming from the heirs of the commissioner, Henri de Chauvigny de Blot, who took it to the Netherlands in 1902.
It seemed that these stuff was on the attic for decades...always great to catch something from the Dutch attics out of old collections!

Regards,
Maurice

Again not a Javanese blade, and the sopal unlike any old Javanese sopal that I have seen.

Danny,

Yes also this one loooks Atjeh or at least Sumatra.
I would not wrangan them.

The elaborate silver ferrules set your mind to Java, but silver ferrules are found all over the archipelago on high status pieces.

I will post some pictures of Atjeh spears I have later this week.

Best regards,
Willem

Hi Danny,

beautiful lance and with great provenance, congratulation for this very nice addition to your collection. :)
Agree with Willem, most probable Sumatra origin.

Regards,

Detlef

Very good looking spears.... Are they ceremonial pieces? Looks kindda like Thai a little.
