Welcome to the forum. A nice collection you have I would love to see more photos of them

You may want to look for "Hands of Time - Crafts of the Aceh" by Barbara Leigh. and The Weapons and Fighting Arts of Indonesia, by Don F. Draeger, Blanke Wapens if you can find a copy is a good book as well. CATALOGUE DE LA COLLECTION D'ARMES ANCIENNES EUROPEENNES ET ORIENTALES by Chalres Buttin, HISTORY OF SUMATRA, CONTAINING AN ACCOUNT OF THE GOVERNMENT, LAWS, CUSTOMS, AND MANNERS OF THE NATIVE INHABITANTS, WITH A DESCRIPTION OF THE NATURAL PRODUCTIONS, AND A RELATION OF THE ANCIENT POLITICAL STATE OF THAT ISLAND." by William Marsden, F.R.S. published 1811 has a little on them. COURT ARTS OF INDONESIA The Asia Society Galleries 1990, SWORDS AND DAGGERS OF INDONESIA Vaclav Solc

Albert G. van Zonneveld who you mentioned of actually posts here when he has time to look in and is a great resource to this forum and was kind enough to mail me some documents not available in Virginia.

There are many here who have helped me a great bit with Aceh weapons. (Paul Vermeiren, Erik Farrow, Ariel Barkan and Dominique Buttin to name a few) with apologies to the many others who helped me that I have left out) I tried to compile what I learned here and here is the page I put together on that. It should not be considered complete or without errors as it is a work in progress. Willem and Michael who post here hasvesome nice Aceh pieces hopefully will post soon on these. Utami was our man on the ground in indonesia so to speak but he has not posted on here in a while
