Detlef,

Thanks for your input. It is certainly most interesting and a bit of s head-scatcher that these swastikas are on clearly Muslim blades. That said, Indonesian Islam may be the most liberal in the world in terms of incorporating pre-Islamic ideas into the religion.

Willem,

Thanks for reposting that thread. Isn't it interesting that the design is almsot identical in detail to the one on my badek?

Thanks for all the input.
