Hello Marcus,

sadly I have to correct Artzi again, the first one isn't a badik but a sekin from Sumatra, Padang Highlands, the "greneng" at the base, called a'jour, is the giveaway also the typical bird shaped handle is typical for this daggers. A very nice example! I still look byself for a dagger like this. Artzi has sold in the past already some of this daggers but has described them every time as badik. Search here in the forum with the keyword "sekin", you will find a few examples. But the name sekin is also used for a short sword from the Batak people, see T.W.O.T.I.A. from Albert G. van Zonneveld, page 119.

The dagger in down is indeed a badik and here I am with Artzi, I think that this one coming from Java. Also a nice example.

Regards,
Detlef

P.S.: forget, both pieces could need a little TLC
