Hello Gustav,

if possible I would like to ask some knowledgeable person to translate the cartouche on this one, please.

The script is unusually long!
I also can't remember having seen these lines to be written on...

the blade of this specimen is becoming slightly broader towards the tip, for about 3,5 mm. I suppose, it isn't much reshaped or resharpened. Have somebody of you noticed something similar on your Sikin?

I've seen this with some sekin. This blade is fairly broad to begin with...
I'd need to closely study the blade to possibly narrow down on any possible reason.

Many Pamor layers on this one.

Typical neat Aceh craftsmanship.
A very nice, complete example with extensively decorated scabbard and gold crowns/inlays, congrats!
Regards,
Kai
