Thanks Ian,

That scabbard is almost "shaver cool"... yep I said it far too modern to gauge origins IMHO, perhaps a form seen all over the island

I feel there is mostly agreement on Sumatra at least.

You noted from the image you present were the edge is on these types?

Attached is a very fine Aceh example with an original old scabbard found in the MET. A northern scabbard phenomenon too.

Gavin
