Here a picture from an old thread with what to me is the typical top grade of Gayo Rencong. Probably a status or ceremonial piece (for a high ranking person). The picture was posted by Michael (VVV) so I hope he does not mind me posting it here again.
Regards, Erik

Nice dandan hilt - copper/gold covering of the base and first real part of the blade (these covers often also have some enemal inlay) and a sheath were the top part is seperate and also made of ivory like the handle.
Still am looking for a nice complete one like this - so if you have one do send me an mail with your price
