Then I know which book you mean.
I donīt think the hilts and the swords shown in this book is that close to
Royīs chopper.
In the Leiden collection there are 2 resembling swords found in Yamdena.
But I havenīt seen any "closer resembling" Royīs blade- and hilt-wise in Leiden.
On my later chopper I also suspect that itīs SE Sulawesi, both sheath and blade.
