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.

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